Getting the flashing right on Sand Lake Hills chimneys
Here is how our local team thinks through a flashing repair at your Sand Lake Hills home.
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.
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.
A chimney beside a taller wall
When a chimney sits against a second-story wall, the flashing has to work with the wall's weather barrier and cladding as well as the roof. Water running down the wall and down the chimney can meet at the same inside corner.
We check that the flashing at that corner turns water onto the roof and away from the wall. Repairs here can involve cladding, so we explain how much is disturbed and how it is restored before any work starts.
Temporary protection before the repair
When a leak is active and the repair has to wait for dry weather or materials, temporary protection can limit the damage. That may mean a secured cover over the junction or refastening a lifted piece of metal.
Temporary measures are just that. We tell you what they do and how long they are meant to last, and we remove them when the permanent flashing goes in. They are never a reason to put off the real repair longer than the weather requires.
