Our approach to chimney flashing in Tildenville
Before you approve flashing work in Tildenville, these points are worth knowing.
A cricket is flashed like the rest of the chimney
Where a cricket meets the chimney, the flashing follows the same logic as the other faces. BIA Technical Note 19B describes that intersection as flashed and counter flashed in the same manner as a normal chimney roof intersection, with the roofline flashing reaching at least 4 inches under the roofing material.
Code section R903.2.2 adds that a cricket's covering is sheet metal or the same material as the roof. Older crickets sometimes carry patched valleys where they tie into the main roof. We check those valleys and the chimney joint together, because either one can send water behind the back of the chimney.
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 small flashing repair is enough
Not every leak calls for a full reflash. A single loose counter flashing piece, a failed joint where the metal enters the masonry or a torn corner tab can sometimes be repaired on its own, provided the rest of the flashing is sound.
We tell you honestly when a small repair will do the job. It is written up with what it fixes and what it does not, so you decide with the whole picture and without pressure to buy more than the chimney needs.
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.

What people in Tildenville ask about chimney flashing
Short answers from our chimney team in Tildenville. Call for anything not covered here.
Can I check the flashing myself?
From the ground, yes. Binoculars show lifted metal, rust and tar patches without the risk of climbing. Tell us what you see, and we handle the roof work.
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.
