Chimney Flashing Repair in Miami
Flashing is the metal that seals the joint where the chimney passes through the roof. When it fails, water runs down alongside the chimney — a leak that's often blamed on the chimney but is really at this junction.
What we examine
- Step and counter-flashing at the chimney base
- The seal between flashing and masonry
- The surrounding roof covering
- The path water takes inside
Flashing leak or roof leak?
A stain near the chimney can come from failed flashing, the roof covering, the crown or the chase. We separate these carefully, because repairing the wrong one leaves the leak in place.
Repairing the junction
Proper flashing repair re-establishes a watertight, layered seal at the roof-to-chimney transition. We address the actual failure rather than smearing sealant over a symptom.
What affects the estimate
We don't publish one-size prices, because honest pricing depends on what we find. Factors include:
- Extent of the flashing failure
- Roof type and pitch
- Whether related components also leak
After we inspect and explain the findings, you get a clear written estimate — no surprise line items.
How to prepare
- Note where and when interior stains appear
- Photograph the chimney base if accessible
- Mention roof age and any recent roof work
