How we handle chimney flashing repair in Zellwood
The details below shape the repair we recommend in Zellwood, and each one shows up in your written estimate.
Testing a suspect face with water
When the source is unclear, a controlled water test can separate one path from another. Water is run over a small area, starting low on the roof and working upward, while someone watches the attic or the ceiling for the first sign of a drip.
It takes patience, since each area needs time to show or stay dry. We use this method where the visible evidence does not isolate the junction, and we tell you beforehand what the test can and cannot confirm.
Restoring the shingles around new flashing
When shingles come up for flashing work, some may crack or tear, especially older ones that have gone brittle. Matching replacements are not always available, and a patch of new shingles beside a weathered roof can stand out.
Before starting, we tell you how many shingles we expect to disturb and what happens if they cannot be reused. You decide how much appearance matters before the work begins, not after the roof is already open. Keeping a few spare shingles from the original roof, if you have any in the garage, makes matching far easier.
Watching the ceiling after the repair
After the repair, an old stain can take a while to dry out. A stain that stays the same size means the water has stopped. One that grows or darkens after rain means something is still getting in.
Mark the edge of the stain lightly in pencil once the job is done. If it spreads past that line, call us and note the weather when it happened. We then review the repair and the other paths into the chimney together, at no charge for the return look.
Wide chimneys with more than one flue
Chimneys that carry several flues are often wide, which means more water collects behind them and the flashing has longer runs to cover. Longer runs mean more seams and more places for water to work in.
We check the full width of the back pan or cricket and every seam along the sides. Whether your chimney needs a cricket under the code's width rule is measured and noted in the estimate. Wide chimneys also carry longer counter flashing runs across the back, where a single failed joint can feed water along the whole width before it finds a way in.

Chimney flashing questions from Zellwood
Short answers from our chimney team in Zellwood. Call for anything not covered here.
Can you work around my solar panels?
Often, yes. We check the clearance around the chimney during the inspection. If panels need to be moved for access, we tell you up front so the solar installer can be scheduled.
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.
