Getting the flashing right on Winter Garden chimneys
Here is how our local team thinks through a flashing repair at your Winter Garden home.
Layers of old roofing tar around the base
Black tar smeared up the brick and across the shingles tells you someone has fought a leak here before. Tar can buy time, but it also traps moisture against metal and masonry, hides rust and slows the next repair because it all has to come off first.
When the tar layer is thick, we explain what removing it involves before quoting the flashing. Sometimes the metal under it is sound and needs only cleaning and correct sealing. Sometimes it has rusted through where the tar held water against it. The estimate reflects which one we found, not a guess.
Diverting water where a roof edge meets a wall
Where a roof edge ends against a vertical wall, a small diverter piece turns water into the gutter instead of down the wall. On chimneys that sit near a roof edge, the same idea applies at the chimney's base.
When that diverter is missing, water can run behind the cladding or into the chimney base and show up well below the roof. We check for it where the chimney layout calls for one and add it to the scope when it is absent.
Loose masonry above the roofline comes first
Counter flashing anchors into the masonry. If the brick courses at the roofline are loose or the mortar has failed, new flashing has nothing solid to hold on to. Resetting metal in a crumbling joint only moves the leak a few inches.
In that case the masonry repair comes before the flashing, or as part of the same visit. We explain the order and list each part separately, so you can see what the masonry work involves next to the flashing itself.
Signs flashing is reaching the end of its life
Flashing rarely fails all at once. Rust spots spread, sealant cracks, counter flashing edges lift and corners open over the years. Each small sign on its own may not leak yet, but together they say the flashing has spent most of its working life.
When we see several of these on one chimney, we explain whether a repair buys meaningful time or whether a full reflash is the better choice. Both options go in writing, and the decision stays with you.
