Tracing and fixing chimney leaks in MetroWest
Here is how our local team works through a chimney leak at your MetroWest home.
Base flashing where the roof meets the brick
Base flashing is the metal that turns up the chimney face from the roof surface. Brick Industry Association guidance shows it rising at least four inches up the chimney and running along the roof beneath the roofing material. When the base flashing is short, torn or rusted through at your MetroWest home, water gets behind it at the first heavy rain. We inspect each face and corner and explain what needs replacing. Base flashing tucked correctly under the roofing can sometimes stay, with only the counterflashing replaced.
A flat chase top that holds water
A chase cover cut as a flat sheet tends to sag in the middle, where rain collects and rusts the metal from the top down. One widely installed fireplace maker's manual wants the chase top pitched downward, away from where the pipe comes through. When your MetroWest chase has a flat top with standing water, the leak repair is usually a replacement cover shaped to drain. Cross-breaks or a pitched top give the sheet enough fall to drain, and the choice depends on the size of the chase.
Protecting the roof while we work
Leak repairs mean time on the roof, so we plan where to step, where to set materials and how to protect the roofing around the chimney. On tile and older shingle roofs, that care matters as much as the repair itself. At your MetroWest home we clean up debris, remove old flashing and sealant from the site and leave the roof as tidy as we found it. Old flashing, sealant and debris leave with us instead of staying in your yard.

Before your chimney leak repair in MetroWest
If your question is not here, our MetroWest team is a phone call away.
Is the repair covered by a warranty?
Yes. Every chimney leak repair we complete carries our workmanship warranty, and the estimate lists exactly which parts we repaired.
Can you close off a chimney we never use?
Yes. Capping and sealing a retired flue keeps rain out, though the crown and flashing still need to be sound. We explain how it is done and how it could be reopened later.
