Chimney Flashing Repair & Replacement in MA & RI
The flashing where your chimney meets the roof is one of the most common sources of chimney leaks β and one of the most frequently overlooked during routine maintenance.
Lead or flashing repair available. Chimney flashing is the metal installed at the joint where the chimney passes through the roofline. It creates a waterproof seal between the two surfaces, which expand and contract at different rates with temperature changes. Because the chimney and the roof move independently, flashing is under constant stress β and it frequently fails, allowing significant amounts of water to enter the attic and the chimney structure.
