Getting the flashing right on Tangerine chimneys
Straight answers about flashing work in Tangerine, from the people who do it.
Who handles which layer at the chimney
Chimney flashing sits between two trades. The roofer owns the roof covering and often the base and step pieces woven into it. The chimney side owns the masonry, the mortar joints that hold counter flashing and everything above the roofline.
Leaks often live in the gap between those two responsibilities. When both trades are involved, we write down which layer each one handles, in what order, and who seals the final laps. Clear boundaries keep your repair from ending up as two partial fixes with one open seam between them.
Keep notes on when the chimney leaks
A few details make a flashing assessment faster and more accurate. Note whether the leak follows every rain or only long, heavy ones, whether it starts during the rain or hours later, and which room or spot shows it first.
Leaks that appear within minutes of rain often point to an open seam near the surface. Leaks that show up hours later can mean water is soaking through masonry first. Bring those notes to the inspection, because they help us look at the right part of the chimney first.
Water that gets behind the counter flashing from above
Brick and mortar absorb water. When the masonry above the roofline is saturated, water can move down inside the chimney wall and come out behind the counter flashing, where no amount of work on the outside metal will stop it.
Clues include dampness on the chimney inside the attic, above the roof deck, and wet spots that continue after new flashing is in. We look for those signs and, when they show up, recommend the masonry or crown repair that deals with water entering higher up.
An unused chimney still needs sound flashing
A fireplace that is never lit does nothing to protect the roof junction. Water gets in at the flashing whether or not the chimney is used, and it can damage framing and ceilings quietly over time.
Unused chimneys often go unchecked for years because nobody thinks about them. If yours has not been looked at in a while, a free inspection of the flashing, crown and cap can catch problems while they are still small. The check is free and takes one visit, and the findings tell you whether the chimney needs work before the next storm season.

Flashing repair answers for Tangerine homeowners
Our family-owned team in Tangerine answers the questions that come up most on flashing jobs.
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.
We have a skylight near the chimney. Could that be the leak?
It could. A skylight carries its own flashing, often from its maker's kit, and the two can share a strip of roof, so water past one can show up beside the other. We check both and tell you which is letting water in, then quote the skylight side in writing or send you to the right trade.
