Chimney Flashing Repair in Vancouver
Stop Roof Leaks Before They Start
Leaking around your chimney? It’s likely due to damaged or deteriorating flashing—the metal barrier that seals the connection between your chimney and roof. In Vancouver’s rainy climate, even a small flashing failure can lead to water infiltration, mold, and costly roof or interior repairs.
At Vancouver Roofing, we specialize in chimney flashing repair and replacement for all roof types. Our expert technicians quickly identify problem areas and restore watertight protection around your chimney.
🛠 What Is Chimney Flashing?
Chimney flashing is a layered system of metal (usually aluminum or galvanized steel) that seals the joint between the roof surface and your brick or masonry chimney. It prevents rain, snow, and melting ice from entering your attic or home.
A typical flashing system includes:
- Step flashing – Interwoven with shingles along the chimney base
- Counter flashing – Embedded into the chimney mortar
- Cricket or saddle – Optional back-side water diverter for wider chimneys
When installed correctly, flashing can last 20+ years—but age, rust, shifting mortar, or improper installation can shorten its life dramatically.
🔎 Common Signs of Flashing Failure
- Water stains or leaks around your chimney
- Mold or musty smells in the attic
- Missing shingles near the chimney base
- Visible gaps or rust in the metal flashing
- Cracked mortar or brick above the flashing
If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait—early flashing repairs can prevent major roof damage.
