The Importance of Chimney Flashing
Chimney flashing is the metal or waterproof material installed at the intersection of your chimney and roof. It creates a watertight seal, preventing water from seeping into your home and causing damage to the interior, walls, and foundation.
Types of Chimney Flashing
Step Flashing: Step flashing consists of L-shaped metal pieces that are interwoven with roofing shingles and the chimney. It creates a series of steps that effectively direct water away from the joint.
Counter Flashing: Counter flashing is installed over the step flashing and is embedded into the chimney mortar joints. It forms a protective barrier against water, securing the vulnerable area.
Continuous Flashing: Continuous flashing is a single, continuous piece of metal that wraps around the base of the chimney and extends onto the roof. This type of flashing is ideal for chimneys that have a larger base.
Signs of Chimney Flashing Issues
Water Stains on Ceilings and Walls: Water stains on ceilings and walls near the chimney indicate a flashing problem that allows water to leak into your home.
Mold or Mildew Growth: Excess moisture caused by faulty flashing can lead to mold or mildew growth in your home’s interior.
Rust on Chimney Components: Rust on the chimney cap or other metal chimney parts may signify water infiltration due to damaged flashing.
Loose or Missing Flashing: Visible gaps or missing flashing materials around the chimney area are clear indications of potential water penetration.
