to view job photo page of this large stone chimney flashing. Note: We have many photographs of our Chimney Flashing work, but the one to the left depicts a common Chimney Flashing and exemplifies the real difference a Professional CHimney Flashing can make.
In
the residential and commercial roofing marketplaces, the vertical interruptions
that are the most troublesome are those of the chimney flashing
details. These areas are the number one service call request
in the industry. They are usually addressed with asphalt cement
or caulk by the novices in the trade and they usually leak
in the first 1 to 5 years of service. By the time a leak is
discovered on the interior of the structure, major damage
may have occurred, and the contractor is more than often,
out of the business. We get many calls related to inadequate
chimney flashings. Word to the wise: It costs less to do it
right, even if it costs a little more….
The same chimney depicted above was never flashed properly and was leaking prior to the new Chimney Flashing work. See before photos below.

Leaks are caused by poor Chimney Flashings and leaks provide liquid moisture for mold growth. Attic mold under your roof is a serious problem that should be addressed by a mold remediation expert.
