Chimney Flashing Repair · San Antonio

Your chimney may be fine. The seam where it meets the roof isn't.

Flashing is the metal-and-seal system that bridges two things that never sit still - your masonry chimney and your roof. They expand, shift, and settle at different rates, and over time that constant movement lifts the metal, cracks the sealant, and opens a gap.

That gap is the single most common place a chimney leaks - and the most misdiagnosed, because the water shows up inside while the real failure is up on the roofline. We seal the seam properly, so the joint moves without letting water in.

We Read the Whole Joint

Step flashing, counter-flashing, the mortar reglet - we check every layer, not just the caulk line on top.

Sealed to Move, Not Just Covered

Proper metal and flexible sealing that flexes with the roof - not a smear of caulk that cracks by next season.

Watertight. Backed 3 Years.

Certified & insured technicians, done right the first time, backed by a 3-year workmanship warranty in writing.

It's a System, Not a Strip of Metal

Where Flashing Actually Fails

Good flashing is four layers working together. The cheap fix only touches the top one, here's the whole system we repair.

Layer 01

Step Flashing

The stepped metal pieces woven into the shingles alongside the chimney - bent, loose, or rusted, they let water track down the side

Layer 02

Counter-Flashing

The upper metal set into the masonry that caps the step flashing - when it pulls out of the joint, the whole seal is open

Layer 03

The Mortar Reglet

The groove cut into the brick that holds the counter-flashing - cracked or crumbling, the metal has nothing to grip

Layer 04

The Weather Seal

The flexible sealant that finishes the joint - the only part most "repairs" ever touch, and the first to fail alone

A caulk-only "fix" seals Layer 4 and ignores the other three. We repair the whole joint - so it stays sealed.

Point Your Eyes at the Roofline

Signs the Leak Is at the Flashing

Flashing failures leave clues that point up at the roof, not down at the firebox. If any of these sound familiar, the seam is the suspect - and the estimate is free.

Stains on Only One Side

Water marks that appear on the wall or ceiling next to the chimney - but only on one side - usually mean the flashing failed on that face of the roofline.

Leaks Only in Wind-Driven Rain

A leak that shows up in hard, angled storms but not gentle rain is classic flashing - the wind pushes water up under a lifted metal edge that normally sheds fine.

Rust Streaks Down the Brick

Orange or brown streaks running down the masonry below the roofline mean the flashing metal itself is corroding - and rusted metal no longer seals.

Old Caulk or Tar Smears

Black roofing tar or thick caulk globbed around the base is a previous band-aid fix - a sign the joint was patched, not properly repaired, and it's failing again.

Visible Gaps or Lifted Metal

From the ground or a window, you can see the flashing pulling away from the brick or shingles. Any gap you can see, water has already found.

New Roof, Same Old Flashing

Roofers often reuse or skip proper chimney flashing during a re-roof. If your roof is newer than the flashing around the chimney, that seam is the weak point.

Flashing leaks are sneaky but fixable - caught now it's a seam repair. Ignored, it rots roof decking, framing, and drywall from the inside.

How We Repair Flashing Properly

Not a fresh line of caulk over an old failure. A real repair of the whole joint - here's exactly how it goes.

1

Inspect the Whole Joint

We get eyes on the roofline and read all four layers - step flashing, counter-flashing, the mortar reglet, and the seal - to find where it's actually failing. Call (726) 259-1693 or send the form to start with a free estimate.

2

Strip the Failed Metal — Don't Bury It

Old caulk, rusted flashing, and previous tar patches come off, not painted over. Burying a failure under new sealant just hides it for a season. We clear the joint down to a surface we can actually seal to.

3

Install Proper Flashing

New step and counter-flashing, set correctly into the masonry and woven into the roof - with the reglet re-cut and repointed where needed. Metal that's built to move with the roof instead of fighting it.

4

Seal, Test & Warranty

We finish the joint with flexible weather sealant, confirm it sheds water, and document the work - ready for an insurance claim if you're filing one. Backed by our 3-year workmanship warranty, in writing.

Why Homeowners Call Us for the Seam

A Roofer Caulks It. We Actually Seal It.

Flashing sits between two trades - and falls through the cracks of both. Here's why the chimney people are the right call.

Real Flashing, Not Caulk

We repair all four layers of the joint with proper metal set into the masonry - not a bead of sealant smeared over a failure that returns next storm.

We Find the Real Failure

Water shows up inside while the failure hides on the roofline. We trace it to the exact layer that's leaking - so we fix the cause, not the stain.

Chimney & Roof, One Call

Flashing is where masonry meets roofing - and most contractors only know one side. We handle both sides of the seam as a single job.

Documented & Warrantied

Photos and paperwork ready for an insurance claim, all work by certified & insured technicians, backed by a 3-year workmanship warranty in writing.

Flashing Questions

Chimney Flashing FAQ

The straight answers - the same ones we'd give you standing under your chimney.

It falls between two trades - which is exactly why it's so often done poorly. Roofers handle shingles; masons handle brick. Flashing is the seam where both meet, and it needs someone who understands the masonry side too: cutting the reglet into the brick, setting counter-flashing into the joint, and repointing around it. We handle both sides of that seam as one job, so nothing gets passed back and forth.
That's a textbook flashing symptom. In gentle rain, water runs straight down and the flashing sheds it fine. In hard, wind-driven storms, water gets pushed sideways and up - under a lifted edge or through a gap that normally stays dry. The intermittent pattern isn't random; it's the clue that points us straight at the joint.
We can - and it'll hold for a season before it fails again. Caulk is the last layer of a flashing system, not a substitute for it. If the metal is lifted, rusted, or pulled out of the masonry, sealant over the top just hides the problem. That's why we strip the failed layers and repair the actual joint - so you're not paying for the same leak twice.
Often, when the failure ties to a sudden event like a storm - though gradual wear is usually excluded. Coverage is always between you and your insurer, but we make it easier: we provide photos of the failure and the damage plus a detailed written quote so you walk into the claim with solid documentation.
Then it's an active leak, and we treat it with priority. Flashing is one of the most common sources - but we'll confirm it's the actual entry point before repairing, because water inside can come from several places. If you're seeing stains or drips right now, start on our leak repair page or just call - active leaks get priority scheduling.
Done right - real metal set into the masonry, not just caulk - flashing lasts many years, typically as long as the roof itself. The reason people think flashing "always leaks" is that they've only ever had it patched. A proper repair is backed by our 3-year workmanship warranty in writing.
It depends on which layers have failed - a resealed joint is very different from full new step-and-counter flashing with reglet work. That's why the estimate is free: we get eyes on the actual joint and give you a real number, not a guess. No service call fee, no obligation.
Very often, yes. Roofers frequently reuse old flashing or seal over it to save time during a re-roof, which leaves the weakest link untouched under a brand-new roof. If your roof is newer than the chimney flashing, that seam is worth a look - it's a common reason a chimney still leaks after a fresh roof.
