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.

When should I call for emergency chimney repair?
Can a handyman fix a leaning chimney?
A leaning chimney signifies a serious structural defect that a general handyman is typically not qualified to address. This issue often requires the expertise of licensed, insured chimney repair specialists who can diagnose the underlying cause, which might involve foundation problems or extensive masonry damage. Attempting such repairs without specialized knowledge can lead to further structural compromise and safety hazards for your New Orleans home.
What is the purpose of chimney flashing?
Chimney flashing is a critical weatherproofing component designed to create a watertight seal where the chimney meets the roof. It directs water away from this vulnerable junction, preventing it from entering the attic, walls, or the chimney structure itself. Proper flashing, typically made of metal like copper or galvanized steel, is essential for preventing water damage, mold growth, and structural deterioration within the home.
