Chimney flashing details that matter in Stone Crest
Our team in Stone Crest walks every homeowner through points like these.
Soft roof decking at the chimney
A leak that has run for a while can soften the roof decking around the chimney. That damage is often found only when shingles or tile come up for the flashing work.
If we find soft or broken decking, we stop and show you the area before going further. Decking repair is roofing work, so the estimate lists it separately, explains what it involves and says who handles it. Nothing is added to your bill without your approval first.
The mark indoors is a separate repair
Stopping water at the flashing does not remove the mark it left on the ceiling or wall. Drywall and paint need to dry fully before the finish is repaired, and staining can bleed through fresh paint unless the area is sealed first.
Interior repair sits outside our flashing scope unless we agree to it in writing. We suggest waiting through a few rains after the repair to confirm the area stays dry before repainting. If a new mark appears, note the date and weather and call us, and we will compare it to the original.
When a roof valley runs into the chimney
A chimney placed where two slopes meet in a valley takes water from both directions. The valley metal and the chimney flashing have to overlap in a specific order, and that joint is one of the trickiest on any roof.
We check how the valley ends at the chimney and whether its water is carried past the flashing or under it. This detail may involve both trades, so we write down which part we handle and leave no gap between the two scopes.
Framed chimneys can leak from the top down
On a framed chase, the metal chase cover at the top is a common source of water that shows up near the roofline. Rust, ponding and failed seams in that cover can send water down inside the chase walls.
We look at the chase cover during the flashing inspection. If the cover is the source, it is a separate repair, and we list it on its own so you can decide on each part. Water from a failed chase top often stains the ceiling in the same spot a flashing leak would, which is why the two are checked together before either is blamed.

Flashing repair answers for Stone Crest homeowners
If your question is not here, our Stone Crest team is a phone call away.
Will another coat of caulk stop my flashing leak?
Rarely for long. Sealant belongs inside a proper flashing detail, but spread over an open gap it hardens and pulls away from the masonry. We repair the metal and the joint that holds it.
Is there a charge for the flashing inspection?
No. The inspection and the written estimate are free, with no obligation. Book within 72 hours after the inspection and the estimate shows 10% off.
