After high wind

Wind can lift flashing that was only held by sealant, bend an apron up, or pull counter flashing out of a shallow joint. Once lifted, the metal lets rain straight in, and the next storm lifts it further.

After a storm on a house in Nocatee, we check the flashing on every side, including the ones that look fine, because wind that bent one piece has loosened others. A temporary fix can hold until the proper repair, and each piece is marked with the one it needs. Loose sealant along the joint is checked by hand, since wind-flexed metal breaks the bead even where it looks intact. Roof-line checks in Nocatee cost nothing; call (904) 920-5495 to book the first dry day.

Nocatee sits a short way inland, within about six miles of the coast. Counted as a direct line, Jacksonville and Nocatee are roughly 17 miles apart.

How It Works

How our flashing pros reflash a chimney in Nocatee

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

Old tar patches on chimneys in Nocatee

Tar and roof cement spread over flashing crack and pull away in sun and storm, and chimneys in Nocatee often carry several layers of it. The water gets in behind the patch.

Every layer comes off before we judge the metal underneath, and you learn which pieces can stay and which are replaced.

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.

Why aluminum stays away from fresh mortar

Aluminum flashing is light, cheap and easy to bend, and it turns up on chimneys for those reasons. The problem is contact with masonry. According to the Brick Industry Association, fresh mortar is alkaline enough to corrode aluminum, so aluminum is not a flashing metal for brickwork.

Aluminum set into a reglet with fresh mortar, or lying in constant contact with wet brick, corrodes where it touches. We use copper or stainless steel for anything set into the masonry, and where a roof requires aluminum for compatibility, the detail keeps the aluminum away from the brick with a separate counter flashing.

Minimum flashing thickness under the code

Thickness is part of the flashing choice as much as the metal is. The Florida Building Code, Residential, Table R903.2.1, lists minimum thicknesses for corrosion-resistant flashing by metal. Metal thinner than that dents, tears at bends and corrodes through sooner.

Thin metal turns up on quick repairs because it is easy to bend by hand. We check the thickness of what is there and name the thickness of what we will install, which meets the table and is chosen for the detail. That figure is worth checking when you look at other proposals. Heavier metal also holds a crisp bend at hems and tabs, which keeps laps tight.

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.

Is copper or stainless steel better for chimney flashing?

Both are durable around masonry. Copper solders neatly but can stain light brick below it; stainless steel does not stain but is stiffer to form. The choice also depends on your roof's metal, and the estimate explains which we recommend.
