Chimney Repairs - Chimney Leaks - Chimney Crickets

We are chimney repair experts. Providing a more permanent solutions to the improper flashings on your chimney. We have seen this all too many times here in Dallas and are trying our best to educate homeowners on the difference between proper and improper chimney flashings.

The chimney flashings are critical in keep water from gaining access to your home. Looking at the photo below, this is what "Roofing Quality in Dallas" has been reduced too. 

Its not right and we will never allow our roofers to leave a chimney flashings like this.

We are true roofing mechanics when it comes to completing our counter flashings. 

When counter flashing your chimney. Copper is always nice but not needed. You can use a variety of metals. Aluminum will not rust like Galvanize. Copper is pricey and not economical on most homes. Aluminum is the best in most cases.

 

As seen below: Chimney flashings completed with Storm Guard (ice and water) and proper counter flashings techniques. All corners cut and folded to wrap the corner tight.

 

Most chimneys in Dallas are missing the Saddle as seen above. The saddle acts as a water diverter and slopes water away from behind the back of the chimney

 

Notice the corners are cut and folded? In Dallas, roofers for some odd reason feel its better to leave the flashings extended past the corner creating what we like to call a wind trap. Wind blown rains will enter into the corners and eventually leak.

Notice the water ponding? Notice the corners extended passed the brick? Rest assure, water when in heavy rains will back up under the shingles behind the chimney. Rain will blow into the corners and this will become a problem for the home owners. Rest assure you will need the saddle installed, flashings corrected and probably dry wall repairs.

 

Tired of your chimney headaches? Call us. We are proud of our abilities to do things right!
