How we repair the flashing at your roof line
Sealant supports flashing but cannot replace it
Sealant has a place at a chimney. It closes the reglet, the ends of laps and the hidden side of bends. It is not meant to be the barrier itself, because sealant hardens, tears and pulls away from masonry as it ages.
If a past repair relied on a thick bead of caulk over an open joint, we say so in the findings. The repair we propose rebuilds the metal lap first and then uses sealant where the detail calls for it. Ask which joints will be sealed and which will be lapped. The answer should be specific.
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 West Flagler, 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.
When water is pouring in now
If water is coming through a ceiling beside the chimney right now, the first steps are inside the house. Move furniture and valuables away, set out containers and keep people clear of any wet ceiling that sags. Turn off power to a wet light fixture at the panel if you can reach it safely.
Our 24/7 emergency line is there for urgent situations like this. We can talk through what to do until the roof can be reached safely. The permanent flashing repair comes after the water is under control, and it is scoped and approved like any other job.
Flashing metal in salt air
Near the coast, chlorides in sea air react with zinc coatings on galvanized steel and wash away the protective layer, exposing fresh zinc again and again. Galvanized flashing and fasteners can wear faster there than they would inland.
Brick industry guidance already favors stainless steel or copper for chimney flashing, and near salt water that choice matters more. We explain which metal we propose for your chimney and why. If old galvanized pieces show heavy rust at laps and fasteners, the findings describe it face by face.

Before you approve flashing work in West Flagler
How long does chimney flashing repair take in West Flagler?
It depends on the roof covering, the number of faces and whether a reglet has to be recut. A single face on a shingle roof is quicker than a full reflash on tile. The estimate gives the expected duration for your job.
Is there a discount on chimney flashing work?
Yes. When you give the go-ahead inside 72 hours of your free inspection, 10% comes off the flashing work. The window counts from the inspection at your home, and nobody will press you to decide sooner than you are ready.
What should I mention when I book a flashing check?
Where the water appears, whether it shows during rain or later, the roof covering and any earlier repairs at the chimney. If you have papers from past roof or chimney work, keep them handy. Rough answers are fine.
