Signs Your Flashing Is Leaking

Flashing is the metal seal between your chimney and your roof. When it fails, water gets into your walls and ceilings — often without an obvious source. It's the most common cause of chimney-related water damage we see. We tear out the bad flashing and do it right.

Flashing problems often go unnoticed until there's visible damage inside. By then, water has been working behind your walls for months. If you notice any of these signs, flashing is the first thing to check.

Water stains on the ceiling near the fireplace
Rust on the damper or firebox
White efflorescence staining on the exterior brickwork
Damp smell from the fireplace after rain
Peeling paint or bubbling drywall near the chimney chase
Visible gaps where the chimney meets the roofline

Why It Fails

Flashing Doesn't Last Forever

Flashing fails for a few reasons: the original installation was done with just caulk instead of proper step and counter flashing; the mortar that holds counter flashing in the chimney joints cracks and lets it pull away; or the metal itself corrodes after years of exposure. In the Pacific Northwest, constant wet-dry cycles accelerate all of it.

A proper repair replaces the flashing — not just re-caulks it. Caulk-only fixes last a year or two before they fail again.
