Your family-owned chimney company in Park Lake/Highland

Tile roofs are handsome and durable, and they ask for a little extra care where a chimney passes through them. For a home in Park Lake/Highland, the Orlando neighborhood the city names with both parts, a tile roof means chimney flashing and access need a plan that respects the tile as much as the chimney.

Tile roofs shed water on the tile surface and rely on an underlayment beneath to keep out what gets past. Around a chimney, flashing has to lead water over and around the tile without letting it run under. Pans, counterflashing set into the chimney's mortar joints and sealed transitions are part of the detail. When a tile cracks near the chimney, or the flashing corrodes or pulls away from the masonry, water can reach the underlayment and the decking below it.

The first sign may be a stain on the ceiling some distance from the chimney, since water can travel along the underlayment before it shows. Walking on tile is where damage often starts. Tile can crack under the wrong footing, so our technicians use care, spread the load and step where the tile is supported, and we tell you if a cracked tile near the chimney was already there.

Where a repair involves lifting tiles, we coordinate with a roofer if the roof itself needs work. Please stay off the roof. From the ground or a window, note any cracked or slipped tiles near the chimney, rust or gaps at the flashing, and where inside the house you see water. Tell us when it happens.
