What goes into a flashing job in Pineloch
What our pros check and why, on flashing jobs across Pineloch.
Step flashing or a continuous L along the sides
For the chimney sides on a shingle roof, FBC-R Section R905.2.8.3 allows the step-flashing method or a continuous L flashing method. The two go in differently and fail differently, so the choice is worth understanding.
Step pieces weave into each course and can be replaced one at a time. A continuous L is a long piece that relies on its laps and fastening. We look at what your roof has now, how it has held up and what the shingle maker calls for, then recommend a method in writing.
Flashing where a framed chase meets the roof
A framed chimney chase, clad in siding or stucco over sheathing, meets the roof like a short wall. The flashing turns up the chase wall, and its upper edge is covered by the cladding rather than set into a mortar joint.
That means the repair often involves loosening the lowest courses of siding to reach the flashing's vertical leg. We explain how much cladding is disturbed and how it is put back. If water is getting in at the top of the chase instead, we point you to the chase cover as a separate repair.
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.
Leaves and grit behind the chimney
The uphill side of a chimney catches leaves, pine needles and shingle grit that wash down the roof. Wet debris holds water against the back flashing and can clog a cricket valley. It also hides rust and open seams from anyone looking up from the yard.
We clear that debris during the inspection and look at the metal underneath. If debris builds up quickly on your roof, having it cleared now and then helps the back flashing last.

Chimney flashing questions from Pineloch
Short answers from our chimney team in Pineloch. Call for anything not covered here.
Can you fix chimney flashing without replacing my roof?
Usually, yes. We lift only the roofing around the chimney, replace the flashing and restore the shingles or tile we moved. A full roof replacement comes into it only when the roof itself is worn out.
What if you find rotten decking once the roof is opened?
We stop and show you before going further. Decking repair is listed as a separate item, and nothing is added to the job without your approval.
