- Soft spots
- Dips or craters
Interior:
- Ceiling stains
- Bubbling paint
- Broken caulk lines
- Swollen wood trims/moldings
- Mold, mildew, or black spots
Chimney Flashing Repair
A roof repair involving the chimney flashing requires replacing the intricate metalwork system situated between the chimney and the roof. This system should incorporate ice and water shield underlayment, step flashing, shingles, counter flashings, and high-quality flashing sealants at critical junctions.
Chimney flashing can be replaced without the necessity of a complete roof replacement. In fact, most of our chimney flashing repairs are performed on older roofs that still have many years of life remaining in the shingles. The chimney flashing is one component of your roofing system that collaborates with others to keep water out.
Unfortunately, many roof installers neglect to replace the flashings during roof replacement to save costs and time. This practice often results in homeowners having a “new roof” that still leaks from the chimney flashing shortly after installation.
Chimney flashing should be replaced or repaired if any of the following symptoms are present:
- Visible water damage to the ceiling or walls around the chimney
- Rotten or wet wood in the attic around the chimney
- Rust corrosion that pits the metal
- Separation from the chimney
- Separation from the roof
- Curling or peeling
Cricket Installation
A chimney cricket, also known as a saddle or chimney saddle, is a small, peaked structure installed on the high side of a chimney where it intersects with the roof.
A chimney cricket, also known as a saddle or chimney saddle, is a small, peaked structure installed on the high side of a chimney where it intersects with the roof. The main purpose of a chimney cricket is to divert water, ice, and debris away from the chimney, preventing water from pooling around it. This helps to protect the chimney and roof from water damage, leaks, and deterioration.
Chimney crickets are typically constructed from the same materials as the roof, such as metal or shingles, and are designed to blend in aesthetically while providing essential functionality. They are particularly important in areas with heavy rainfall or snow.
Building codes require the installation of a chimney cricket when the chimney is wider than 30 inches parallel to the roof’s peak. This requirement applies to most chimneys, regardless of the chimney type. Whether it is a vinyl siding chimney or a brick chimney wider than 30 inches parallel to the peak, a cricket is necessary.
Pipe Collar Flashing
During roof repair, inspecting pipe collar flashings is important. These flashings are prone to needing replacement when the rubber gasket cracks, shrinks, or sags. This deterioration allows small amounts of water to seep through, often unnoticed for long periods.
The problem is, this can lead to damage to the plywood decking around the pipe before any visible signs appear inside the home. Therefore, it’s crucial to inspect the attic to assess the extent of any water damage.
If you discover an active leak around a pipe collar flashing, replacement is the best course of action. Products advertised for repair that simply cover the pipe and flashing to avoid replacement should only be considered for preventative maintenance, not for active leaks.
Metal Flashing Roof Repair
Metal vents, which typically vent heating and cooling appliances, require specialized flashing components due to heat transfer and restrictions on combustible materials. These components are generally not available to the public and can only be purchased through licensed distributors.
The metal vent flashing should be replaced or repaired if any of the following symptoms are present:
- Rust damage
- Curling edges
- Popped nails
- Broken seams
- Missing sealant
