Flashing is the metal seal where your chimney meets the roof, and it is the most common point for leaks. If the metal is rusted, bent, or the sealant has dried out, water will enter your home. We inspect the existing seals and replace damaged flashing to restore a watertight barrier. Costs typically depend on the roof pitch and the amount of metal work required.

If you observe rust or corrosion on metal flashing components, it's a clear indication that water may be finding its way into your chimney structure. Early detection is key to preventing more extensive damage.
