How We Handle Chimney Flashing Repair

Our chimney flashing repair process is meticulous and designed for lasting results. We don’t just patch a leak; we provide a comprehensive chimney flashing repair that guarantees a durable, watertight solution.

Detailed Leak Assessment

Our chimney flashing repair begins with a thorough inspection of your chimney and surrounding roof area. We pinpoint the exact source of the leak, which could be anything from a failing seam to a deteriorated sealant or improperly installed flashing, ensuring our chimney flashing repair is targeted and effective.

01

Flashing Removal & Chimney Inspection

As part of the chimney flashing repair process, we carefully remove the old or damaged flashing. This allows us to inspect the masonry and surrounding roof decking for any signs of water damage, rot, or deterioration, which are often consequences of a failed chimney flashing repair.

02

Custom Flashing Fabrication & Fitting

To ensure a perfect, watertight seal, we often custom-fabricate new flashing pieces that are precisely measured to fit your chimney's unique dimensions. This is a critical step in a professional chimney flashing repair, as generic flashing can lead to future leaks.

03

Meticulous Installation & Sealing

Our technicians expertly install the new flashing, using proper overlapping techniques and applying high-quality sealants to every seam and joint. This meticulous installation is the heart of a reliable chimney flashing repair, ensuring no water can penetrate the seal.

04

Quality Check & Warranty

Upon completion of the chimney flashing repair, we conduct a final quality check to verify the integrity of the seal. We then provide you with our comprehensive workmanship warranty, giving you confidence in our chimney flashing repair and the long-term protection it provides.

05

WOW!!! What a pleasure to work with this team! They provided a quote for some storm damage to our fascia and soffit and the time between us approving the quote to when the work was completed was two days. Brian was phenomenal between quoting, scheduling and inspecting the work. He kept us apprised of all events and delivered them on time! You need construction call Hempel.

J Hempel installed a new roof and gutters on our home - we couldn't be happier with the result. Everyone was professional, easy to work with, and, most importantly, showed up when they said they would (not a given in today's world). The communication we received at all intervals of the process was amazing. Supervisors were there to check the progress of the work crews. This company wants your business and is willing to work for it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chimney Flashing Repair

  • Why is my chimney leaking? Chimney leaks are most often caused by a failure in the flashing system. This can be due to rust, a deteriorated sealant, improper installation, or damage from storms. A professional chimney flashing repair is usually the solution.

  • How do I know if I need a chimney flashing repair? Signs you need a chimney flashing repair include water stains on your ceiling or walls near the fireplace, crumbling mortar on the chimney, or visibly bent, rusted, or loose flashing from the ground.

  • What is flashing? Flashing is a series of metal strips (typically aluminum, galvanized steel, or copper) that are installed where the chimney meets the roof. The purpose of this flashing is to create a waterproof barrier, which is why a good chimney flashing repair is so important.

  • Can I just seal the leak myself? While it may seem like a simple fix, applying caulk or sealant to the exterior of the flashing is often a temporary solution at best. A professional chimney flashing repair involves properly installing the underlying layers of flashing and is a much more permanent and reliable fix.

  • How long does a chimney flashing repair last? A professional chimney flashing repair using high-quality materials and expert techniques should last for many years, often the remaining lifespan of the roof. Our chimney flashing repair is designed to be a durable, long-term solution.
