Our approach to chimney flashing in Park Central
Three parts of the job our flashing specialists explain to homeowners in Park Central before any metal is ordered.
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.
Shingle roofs follow the shingle maker's instructions
On an asphalt shingle roof, Section R905.2.8.4 of the Florida Building Code, Residential, says chimney flashing is applied in accordance with the shingle manufacturer's instructions. Those printed instructions describe how flashing meets that maker's shingles and what the roof covering needs to stay within its terms.
Before we reflash a chimney on a shingle roof, we identify the shingle product where we can and follow its published details. If the brand cannot be identified, we explain the detail we propose and how it lines up with the code's sidewall and base flashing options.
A chimney pulling away from the house
When a chimney tilts or separates from the house, the flashing tears because the roof and the chimney are moving apart. Replacing the metal without dealing with that movement will not hold. Warning signs include a widening gap between chimney and siding, stair-step cracks in the mortar and flashing torn along one side only.
If we see signs of movement, we tell you and recommend a structural assessment before any flashing work. We would rather you spend nothing on flashing now than pay for metal that will tear again.
Cleaning up after flashing work
Flashing jobs produce old metal, sealant scraps, mortar dust and sometimes broken shingles or tile. Nails and metal offcuts can end up in gutters and in the yard below, and roofing granules wash loose whenever shingles are lifted.
We clean the roof, the gutters and the ground around the work area and sweep for stray nails before leaving. Old material is hauled away unless you ask to keep it. Cleanup is part of the scope, not an extra.
