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 chimney flashing repair runs

Attic and roof line read
Stains on the rafters and the state of each flashing side tell us which pieces failed before anything comes apart.
Old joint taken apart
Tar and loose metal come off, the roofing beside the chimney is lifted, and open mortar joints are repointed.
Base, then counter flashing
Steps, apron and back pan go in under the roofing, then the counter flashing is set into a sawn reglet and sealed.
Roofing reset and rain check
The roofing goes back over the new metal, and after the next heavy rain we check the attic side.

Wide chimneys and crickets in Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace

Water running down the roof piles up against the uphill face of a wide chimney. The residential code calls for a cricket there, a small ridge that splits the flow around the stack.

We check the width of your chimney in Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace and say on the estimate whether a cricket is needed and who builds it.

The back pan on the uphill face

The uphill face of a chimney is the hardest place to flash, because water and debris flow straight into it. The piece there, called the back pan or back flashing, runs up the roof under the roofing above it and turns up the back of the chimney, with its ends wrapped around the corners over the last step pieces.

A back pan that is too short lets water back up over its top edge during heavy rain. On a wide chimney, a back pan alone may not be enough, and the building code then asks for a cricket to split the flow. A leak from the uphill side sends us here first.

Base flashing on concrete and clay tile

Tile sits above the roof deck on battens or adhesive and has a high profile, so step flashing woven between courses does not work the way it does with shingle. The Florida Building Code, Residential section R905.3.8 wants flashing and counterflashing wherever a tile roof meets a wall or a chimney, in line with the manufacturer's instructions and the FRSA/TRI tile installation manual.

Those details have to deal with the tile profile and with water that travels under the tile, which a flat step piece cannot do. We follow them for the base flashing and set our counter flashing over the top. Tiles lifted to reach the flashing are reset or replaced, and who does that is agreed first.

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.

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.
