Rusted flashing

Rust on flashing tells us two things: what the metal is, and how long it has been wet. Light rust on a galvanized piece that is otherwise intact can be left and watched. Rust that has eaten holes along the roof line, or flakes when touched, means the piece has failed.

Rusted flashing on a chimney in Ponte Vedra Beach sends us looking for why water stood against it, such as a debris dam or a flat back pan, because replacing rusted metal without fixing the reason it stayed wet sets the new piece up to fail the same way. Roof-line checks in Ponte Vedra Beach cost nothing; call (904) 920-5495 to book the first dry day.

How It Works

How our flashing pros reflash a chimney in Ponte Vedra Beach

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

Flashing metal at the coast in Ponte Vedra Beach

Ponte Vedra Beach fronts the ocean, and salt settling on flashing holds moisture against it. Galvanized steel loses its zinc sooner there, and a fastener that does not match the flashing metal corrodes where the two touch.

For chimneys in Ponte Vedra Beach we quote stainless steel or copper flashing, with fasteners of a matching metal, and the choice is written on the estimate.

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.

Through-wall flashing when brick is being relaid

The detail the Brick Industry Association draws for chimneys runs the counter flashing through the full thickness of the chimney wall and turns it up into the air space inside, so water soaking into the brick above is collected and sent back out. Its guidance says flashing that stops short of going through a wythe is little better than none.

That detail can only be built while the brick is being laid. When a chimney is being rebuilt above the roof, it is the better option and we plan it into the rebuild. On an existing chimney that is staying, a reglet in a mortar joint is the practical repair.

Copper flashing and the staining below it

Copper is a durable flashing metal for chimneys. It handles the temperatures, it can be set into fresh mortar, and it solders into clean corners. The Brick Industry Association lists one drawback: runoff from copper can stain the crown or the brick below it.

That stain is a greenish or dark streak, and on light brick or stucco it can be visible from the ground. Where staining would be a problem, stainless steel is the alternative. If you choose copper, that possibility is mentioned up front, so staining does not come as a surprise a year later. Copper also darkens as it weathers, which some owners like and some do not.
