Is Your Chimney Flashing Doing Its Job? Trust Us for Repair & Installation Assistance
You may not realize it, but flashing plays a critically important role in keeping water (the chimney’s worst enemy) out of your home. Flashing is the layered material – usually made of aluminum, copper, or stainless steel – that protects the seams where your chimney and roof come together. This area is particularly vulnerable because, over time, your home will shift and settle, often causing gaps and cracks around these seams that can allow water in. In addition to shifts in the home, strong winds, animals, and excessive moisture (a given here in Seattle) can all contribute to flashing damage or poor performance.

What Causes Properly Installed Flashing To Fail?
Flashing can become damaged or ineffective as a result of high winds, animal tampering, or shifts in the home. In addition, time and wear can cause the caulk that seals the flashing to become loose or break away from the flashing. In this situation, you may need to have your flashing resealed. Metal flashing can also experience corrosion as a result of water damage over time. All of these issues can cause extensive water damage if left untreated.
