About this service

Flashing is the metal seal where your chimney meets the roof, designed to keep water out of your home. If you see water stains on your ceiling near the chimney or notice damp insulation in the attic, your flashing may be compromised. Companies specializing in this repair remove the old sealant or metal, install new waterproof flashing, and ensure a tight bond. This is a critical repair to prevent long-term water damage to your home’s structure.

Summer is the quietest time for chimney work, making it the perfect opportunity to schedule repairs without the seasonal rush. Technicians have more flexibility to handle masonry work, cap installations, or flue liner replacements. Getting your maintenance done while the weather is dry ensures you are ready the moment the first chilly night arrives.

Frequently asked in Detroit

What is the average cost to repair a chimney?

The average cost to repair a chimney in Detroit can vary significantly. Simple fixes, like re-pointing a small section of mortar, will be less expensive than major structural repairs. The type of chimney, the materials needed, and the accessibility of the chimney all influence the final price. For an accurate estimate, it's essential to have a professional assess the specific damage.

Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?

Homeowners insurance in Detroit may cover chimney repairs if the damage is due to a sudden, unexpected event like a fire or a severe storm. However, damage resulting from gradual wear and tear or neglect is typically not covered. It's always best to review your specific insurance policy or contact your provider to understand what your coverage includes for chimney issues.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?

The '3 to 10' rule for chimneys is a safety guideline. It typically means the chimney should extend at least 3 feet above the roof penetration and be at least 2 feet taller than any part of the building within a 10-foot radius. This clearance helps prevent fires by keeping the chimney safely away from combustible parts of the house.
