Flashing repair decisions you can follow
Flashing where tile meets the chimney
Where a chimney comes through clay or concrete tile, the code calls for flashing and counterflashing at the joint. Both follow the roofing chapter and the tile maker's instructions. Tile has to be lifted to reach the base metal. The underlayment below the tile is part of the joint as well.
On a tile roof in Pompano Beach, we plan how the tiles near the chimney will come up, where they will be set aside and how they go back. Some tiles can break when lifted. The estimate says how breakage is handled and whether matching tile is available, so any mismatch is discussed before work starts.
Checking the flashing from the ground
A pair of binoculars shows a lot from the yard. Look where the chimney meets the roof for lifted metal edges, dark gaps along the top of the counter flashing and rust streaks on the roofing below. Look also for heavy smears of black roof cement.
Stay off the roof, especially if it is tile or wet. Tile can crack underfoot, and a wet slope is a fall risk. Write down which face showed what. Those notes help us know where to look first during the free inspection.
An open roof at the end of the day
Some flashing jobs take more than one working day, especially when tile has to come up or a reglet has to be recut. Roofing left open overnight invites water in. When work stops for the day, any opening at the chimney is covered before we leave.
The estimate says whether the job is expected to run past one day. If weather changes the plan partway through, we tell you what is covered, what is finished and what remains. You should not have to guess the state of your roof between visits.
A short-term measure while you plan
Sometimes the permanent repair has to wait, perhaps for a roof replacement or for matching tile to arrive. A temporary measure can reduce water entry in the meantime. It is not a repair, and it should not be priced or described as one.
If we recommend a temporary step, the estimate labels it clearly and lists it separately from the permanent work. It says what the temporary step does and what it does not do. You then know it needs watching, and that the full repair is still to come.

Flashing questions before you book in Pompano Beach
Do you need to cut into the brick to fix the flashing?
Sometimes. Counter flashing is usually set into a mortar joint, and if the old joint is too worn to hold it, a fresh reglet is cut. The dust is controlled and cleaned up, and any repointing beyond the reglet is a separate item.
Can I see what failed on the old flashing?
Yes. Ask before the work starts and we set the old pieces aside so you can see the rusted laps or short corners. The written record of the work also describes what we found when the old metal came out.
Does the flashing need checking if the fireplace is not used?
Yes. The chimney still passes through the roof, and the flashing keeps water out whatever happens in the firebox. An unused chimney can leak for a long time unnoticed, so a look during a maintenance visit is worthwhile.
