Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Improper Chimney Flashing Install
Chimney flashing are the metal sheets that overlap around the point where the chimney gets into contact with the roof to keep rain water from getting into the chimney. The flashing should be put under the shingles and extended to the chimney sides to give maximum protection.

The roof lines to most houses are different and so are the chimneys. Chimney flashings should therefore be customized for each roof and chimney otherwise they will not be effective in serving their purpose.

Improper installation of chimney flashings will provide a passage for water and you will be experiencing water problems sooner than you may have imagined. Flashing that is improperly installed will leave gaps between the chimney, flashing and the roof thus can easily be blown away by strong winds.

An improperly installed flashing will create areas where water can easily accumulate; this may cause corrosion, rusting and formation of holes which may allow water to get access to the chimney. The chimney flashing has to get replaced while it gets rusty, chipped, corroded, and broken. The masonry caulk will seal the small gaps and holes on short term basis, however isn't made to take place of flashing.

That depends on the state of the flashing, part of chimney as well as surrounding the roof shingles might also require replacement. The roof damage does not come from the old and worn shingles. The damage to chimney structure is very common also, since chimneys will develop the cracks & crevices that will allow water permeate them. The regular roof checks will help you to avoid the costly roofing repairs or replacement, which includes one caused by the damaged chimney flashing. The experienced roofing contractor can inspect not just roof, but chimney also, all areas of the flashing, and home's drainage systems.

Shingle, gutter or flashing repairs must be made rightly to prevent any larger problems from happening. Sections of the metal applied at seams between chimney and roof —named flashing –might come loose and break because of high winds or other inclement weather. Any improper installation of chimney flashing will open up the roof to the early deterioration. The chimney leaks are primary form of the damage you can notice from faulty installation of chimney flashing. In place of keeping snow and rain out of roof seams, the sub-par flashing will allow moisture in roof's inner structure. The water seepage will cause mold, mildew, and premature aging for roof. The chimney flashing can be used to prevent the roof leaks where chimney and roof meet.

The chimney flashing leaks will happen for many reasons. One main reason is chimney isn't directly attached to house frame and suppose home settles, flashing will pull away.
