A new roof over old flashing

A re-roof is the best chance to replace chimney flashing, and it is also when old flashing sometimes gets reused. Step pieces that are bent, rusted or too short, and counter flashing that was not set into the brick, carry their problems onto the new roof.

Planning a new roof for your Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace house? Call us before the tear-off. We check the chimney flashing and the joints above it, and we can do our part while the roofing is off, so the new roof goes back up against new metal instead of old. Ceiling stain next to the chimney in Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace? Call (904) 920-5495 and we will find where the water gets in.

How It Works

How chimney flashing repair runs

Roof line checked, tar stripped
We look at every piece around the chimney, and old tar or caulk comes off so the metal under it can be judged.
Roofing lifted around the chimney
Shingles, tile or panels next to the chimney come up just far enough to reach the base flashing.
Base and counter flashing rebuilt
New step or base pieces go in under the roofing, and the counter flashing is set into a sawn joint in the brick and sealed.
Roofing reset over new metal
The roofing goes back down over the new flashing, and you see each piece that was replaced before we leave.

Local Conditions

Mortar behind the flashing in Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace

Counter flashing is only as good as the mortar joint holding it. A sandy joint above the flashing lets water run behind both layers of metal and into the house.

On chimneys in Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace we repoint the joints along the flashing line first, then cut the reglet into sound mortar.

Tabs folded around the corners

Corners are the weakest point of a flashing joint, because two faces of metal meet there and water can get between them. In the Brick Industry Association's flashing brief, base flashing begins at the lower end of each face that runs down the slope, perpendicular to the ridge, a tab wraps each corner, and every lap and seam is sealed.

A properly folded tab carries the metal of one face around onto the next, so there is no open seam at the corner. Cut square corners and gaps closed only with caulk are among the failures we see on earlier repairs, and they are rebuilt with folded or soldered corners.

Surface-mounted termination bars and their limits

Some counter flashing is not set into the brick at all. It is screwed to the face of the chimney through a metal termination bar, with sealant along the top edge. That detail turns up on quick repairs because it avoids cutting the masonry.

The weakness is that everything depends on that sealant. Brick is porous and uneven, water runs behind the bar as the sealant ages, and every screw is another hole. We use surface-mounted bars only where a reglet cannot be cut, such as some stone faces, and we flag the maintenance it will need.

Chimney flashing on metal roof panels

Metal roof panels move with heat, and each panel maker publishes details for penetrations and walls: which trim, which closures, which fasteners, and where they go. A generic piece of step flashing screwed through the flat of a panel can leak at every screw as the panel moves.

We work to the panel maker's detail for the chimney, with counter flashing let into the masonry above. The flashing metal is chosen to be compatible with the panel coating. Cutting or replacing panels is roofing work, listed apart from ours. Sealant tapes and closures come from the panel maker's system where it has them.

FAQ

Before your chimney is reflashed

Can you reflash my chimney without a roofer?

On a shingle roof in good condition, that is possible, because the shingles right along the chimney are lifted and reset as part of the flashing detail. Tile, metal and membrane roofs can need a roofer for the roofing itself. The estimate names who does what.

Will the new flashing match my roof?

The flashing is detailed to your roof type, and the roofing around it goes back as it was where it can be lifted and reset. Broken tile or discontinued shingle may need close matches, and we flag that before any roofing comes up.
