Chimney Flashing Repair
Professional Chimney Flashing Repair in Connecticut
Sealing the Roof-Chimney Junction
Leaky roofs around the chimney base are often the result of failing or improperly installed flashing. Flashing is the metal barrier designed to create a watertight seal where the chimney meets the roofline. Our expert flashing repair and replacement services in Connecticut eliminate troublesome leaks, preventing costly water damage to your attic, ceilings, and interior walls.
Our team specializes in installing both step flashing (integrated with the shingles) and counter flashing (embedded into the chimney mortar joints) to create a robust, layered defense against water intrusion. We use durable, non-corrosive metals and specialized sealants to ensure that the critical junction between your roof and masonry remains completely watertight, even during heavy Connecticut rain and snowmelt.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
In most cases, yes. The roof-to-chimney junction is the most common point of water entry. However, leaks can also be caused by a cracked crown or porous masonry higher up the chimney, which is why a full inspection is necessary.
Step flashing is a series of small, angled metal pieces woven into the roof shingles. Counter flashing is the metal that covers the step flashing and is sealed into the chimney's mortar joints, ensuring a watertight layered system.
Properly installed metal flashing should last 20 to 30 years, often matching the lifespan of the roofing materials. However, sealants around the counter flashing may need periodic maintenance or resealing.
