What goes into a flashing job in North Orange
Practical points from our chimney flashing crew in North Orange.
The apron along the downhill face
The apron is the flashing across the front of the chimney, the side that faces down the roof. It lies over the roofing below it and turns up the masonry, so water running off the chimney face lands on the shingles or tile instead of behind them.
Aprons usually fail at their ends, where they fold around onto the sides and meet the first step piece. A split fold, or an apron cut too short to wrap the corner, lets water under the roofing right at the bottom of the chimney. We check the fold, the laps and how the counter flashing covers the apron's upper edge.
Roof pitch, height and access
How the crew reaches the chimney affects the time, equipment and care the job needs. A steep pitch, a two-story eave or a chimney tucked between rooflines calls for more setup than a low, gentle roof.
We assess access during the free inspection and explain what equipment will be used and where ladders will stand. If plantings, screen enclosures, solar panels or skylights sit near the work, tell us so the plan protects them from the start.
Diverting water where a roof edge meets a wall
Where a roof edge ends against a vertical wall, a small diverter piece turns water into the gutter instead of down the wall. On chimneys that sit near a roof edge, the same idea applies at the chimney's base.
When that diverter is missing, water can run behind the cladding or into the chimney base and show up well below the roof. We check for it where the chimney layout calls for one and add it to the scope when it is absent.
Patch metal slipped over old flashing
A common quick fix is a new piece of metal slipped over or under the old flashing and sealed at the edges. It can stop a drip for a while, but it adds another set of seams and hides what is happening underneath.
We remove patch pieces during a full repair to see the original metal and the roof beneath. If a patch has actually been working, we tell you, and we can discuss whether a smaller repair makes sense.

Chimney flashing questions from North Orange
Answers from our specialists in North Orange, with no sales pressure.
Could our downspout be part of the problem?
It can. When an upper roof drains onto the roof beside the chimney, one flashing face takes the whole stream, and even good flashing can be overwhelmed. We check where upper downspouts empty. Moving or extending one is gutter work, which we point out and leave to you or your gutter contractor unless we agree otherwise.
What should I look for after a big storm?
From the yard, look for metal standing away from the masonry, bent edges or pieces that are gone. A leak that starts right after a storm usually traces to a piece that was already weak. If you see anything, book a free inspection before the next heavy rain and keep the ladder in the garage.
