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 Kings Ferry 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 Kings Ferry? Call (904) 920-5495 and we will find where the water gets in.

Kings Ferry falls within Nassau County. The coastline lies beyond Kings Ferry.

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.

Metal roof panels around chimneys in Kings Ferry

Metal roof panels move with heat, and each panel maker publishes its own details for walls and chimneys. Step flashing screwed through the flat of a panel can leak at every screw.

On metal roofs in Kings Ferry, we follow the panel maker's trim and fastener details at the chimney.

One step flashing piece for each course of shingle

Step flashing is a set of small bent pieces, one per shingle course, each turned up the chimney and laid on the roof under the shingle above it. Each piece overlaps the one below it, so water on any piece is carried out onto the face of the shingle underneath.

The pieces have to be long enough to overlap properly and tall enough up the brick to sit under the counter flashing. Undersized pieces, missing pieces, or one long strip bent to follow the slope all leave paths for water. The Florida Building Code, Residential sends chimney flashing on a shingle roof to the shingle maker's instructions, which set those dimensions.

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.

Checking the flashing from inside the attic

From the attic, with a light, we can see the underside of the roof deck around the chimney. Daylight showing through at the chimney edge, dark staining or soft wood on one side, or water trails on the rafters all point to specific pieces of flashing.

We also check that the roof deck stops short of the chimney with the clearance the chimney needs, rather than being jammed against the brick. The attic check is repeated after the first heavy rain following the repair, as the simplest confirmation that the new flashing is doing its job. Any wet insulation found against the chimney is pulled back to dry.

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.

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.
