Getting the flashing right on Lake Mann Gardens chimneys
Our team in Lake Mann Gardens walks every homeowner through points like these.
Sealing the joints and the hidden side of each bend
Metal flashing depends on laps, but the seams still need sealing. BIA Technical Note 19B advises that every joint in the base and counter flashing be thoroughly sealed, and that the unexposed side of any bends be sealed as well.
Nobody sees that hidden sealant once the job is closed up, which is exactly why it gets skipped. We seal joints as the pieces go in rather than smearing product over the surface afterward, and we choose a sealant suited to the metal and masonry involved. The product is named in your written scope.
Chimney flashing on a metal roof
Metal panels grow and shrink with temperature, and their ribs change how water moves around a chimney. Flashing on these roofs usually involves a formed back piece, side pieces shaped to the panel profile and closures that seal the open ends of the ribs.
We follow the panel maker's published penetration details wherever they exist, since the wrong fastener or sealant can cause leaks at the ribs or conflict with the maker's terms. If the roofer who installed the panels offers matching trim, we coordinate with them so the chimney junction matches the rest of the roof.
Metal chimney pipe that passes through the roof
Some factory-built fireplaces run a metal chimney pipe straight through the roof instead of up a framed chase. Where the pipe exits, a roof flashing boot and a storm collar shed water, and both are parts of that chimney system rather than generic roofing parts.
Replacement parts need to match the chimney maker's system and installation instructions. We identify the system from its labels where they can still be read, check the boot and collar, and propose matching listed parts. If the labels are gone, we explain how that limits what can be confirmed.
Water that gets behind the counter flashing from above
Brick and mortar absorb water. When the masonry above the roofline is saturated, water can move down inside the chimney wall and come out behind the counter flashing, where no amount of work on the outside metal will stop it.
Clues include dampness on the chimney inside the attic, above the roof deck, and wet spots that continue after new flashing is in. We look for those signs and, when they show up, recommend the masonry or crown repair that deals with water entering higher up.

Flashing repair answers for Lake Mann Gardens homeowners
Our family-owned team in Lake Mann Gardens answers the questions that come up most on flashing jobs.
Can the new flashing be painted to match?
Some metals take paint well and some are better left bare, and paint only holds on a clean, prepared surface. We tell you which is which for your flashing. If you choose paint, the product and the color go into your written scope, so the finish can be matched later.
We have a skylight near the chimney. Could that be the leak?
It could. A skylight carries its own flashing, often from its maker's kit, and the two can share a strip of roof, so water past one can show up beside the other. We check both and tell you which is letting water in, then quote the skylight side in writing or send you to the right trade.
