Flashing repair explained for Rock Lake homeowners
How the job runs in Rock Lake, and where your choices come in.
When the mortar holding the flashing gives up
Counter flashing is only as secure as the joint it sits in. When that mortar crumbles, the metal loosens, lifts at its top edge and lets water run straight down behind it.
Re-sealing the edge without repairing the joint rarely lasts. We rake out the failed mortar, reset or replace the counter flashing and repoint the joint so it grips the metal again. If mortar across the rest of the chimney is failing too, we tell you and quote that masonry work on its own line.
Nails driven through exposed flashing
Fasteners belong where the next layer covers them. Nails driven through the face of exposed flashing, a common shortcut in patch repairs, leave holes that depend entirely on a dab of sealant and often rust out around the head.
We look for exposed heads along the apron, the counter flashing and any patch metal. Where they appear, the lasting fix is usually new metal fastened in the covered zone rather than more sealant over each nail. The count and location of exposed fasteners go into our written notes.
One local team from inspection to cleanup
Our family-owned team does the inspection, writes the estimate and carries out the work. The person who explains the repair to you is part of the crew that stands behind it afterward. You deal with the same people from the first call to the final walkthrough.
If something about the finished flashing is not right, call us. Our 100% satisfaction guarantee means we come back and make it right, and our workmanship warranty covers the flashing we install.
Wide chimneys with more than one flue
Chimneys that carry several flues are often wide, which means more water collects behind them and the flashing has longer runs to cover. Longer runs mean more seams and more places for water to work in.
We check the full width of the back pan or cricket and every seam along the sides. Whether your chimney needs a cricket under the code's width rule is measured and noted in the estimate. Wide chimneys also carry longer counter flashing runs across the back, where a single failed joint can feed water along the whole width before it finds a way in.

Flashing repair answers for Rock Lake homeowners
Questions we hear on flashing visits in Rock Lake, answered plainly.
Do you stand behind the flashing work?
Yes. Flashing we install comes with our workmanship warranty and our 100% satisfaction guarantee, and if anything is off, our crew returns to correct it.
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.
