Where a framed chase meets the roof
Framed chases around factory-built chimneys are flashed like any wall where they meet the roof: step flashing tied into the roofing, with the siding lapping over it instead of counter flashing let into brick.
The fix on a chase in Bryceville may involve lifting or replacing siding at the bottom of the chase so the flashing can be woven in properly. We say whether that is siding work we can do at the flashing line, or carpentry for another trade. The chimney pipe and the chase cover above stay as the maker listed them. Tell us whether your Bryceville roof is shingle, tile or metal when you call (904) 920-5495.

How It Works
How our flashing pros reflash a chimney in Bryceville
-
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
Reflashing during a re-roof in Bryceville
A re-roof is the easiest time to replace chimney flashing, because the roofing around the stack is already off. Reusing old counter flashing over a new roof often shortens the life of both.
When a new roof is going on in Bryceville, we time our part to the roofer's schedule and put the split of work in writing.

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.
When existing step flashing can stay
Some step flashing can stay in place. If the step flashing is the right size, sound metal with no holes, and correctly lapped under the roofing, it can stay while the counter flashing above it is rebuilt. That keeps the roofing undisturbed.
We check a few step pieces by lifting the counter flashing and the roofing edge. Rusted, short or face-nailed pieces mean the whole run is replaced. Either way you hear which way we went on your chimney and why, so a partial repair is a decision you make with us. Pieces that stay are recorded by side, so the next person knows what is original.

FAQ
Before your chimney is reflashed
How do I know the flashing is the problem and not the roof?
Stains close to the chimney on the rafters or ceiling point to flashing, while stains farther away can be the roof itself. When it is not clear, a water test on the flashing alone settles it, and the written finding reports what the test showed.
Could only one side of the flashing be replaced?
Yes, when the other sides are sound. A counter flashing that has pulled loose on one side can be reset, or one run of steps replaced. The estimate says what stays and why.
