Protect your home from leaks and water damage with professionally installed chimney flashing. Whether you need resealing, flashing repairs, or a complete replacement, our team provides reliable solutions that restore your roof’s protection and performance.
Many homeowners upgrade chimney flashing when replacing a roof, fixing leaks, or correcting faulty installations. Properly installed flashing prevents moisture intrusion, improves weather resistance, and ensures long-lasting protection for your roof and chimney.
Some flashing materials are far more durable than others, and choosing the right metal depends on your existing roof type, budget, and long-term durability goals. The most common chimney flashing materials include:
You shouldn’t settle on materials without talking to a professional roofing expert first. The right flashing system requires a layered defense strategy, utilizing distinct metal components to handle water shedding safely.
Memphis and its surrounding communities get plenty of severe weather, and heavy winds can easily tear loose aging metal or break the concrete mortar seals holding your flashing to the brick. If driving rain is penetrating your roofline, or hail has dented and detached your metal seals, we can help. Our specialized crews are experts at repairing damaged chimney flashing systems, whether you need a minor sealant refresh or a full multi-layer reconstruct.
Your cost to repair chimney flashing depends on several distinct factors, including the specific materials used (such as aluminum vs. copper), the size and layout of your chimney, and the extent of the damage. In some cases where an old leak has gone unnoticed, the underlying roof decking or wooden framing may be rotted and require structural carpentry work. Working with a trusted local expert like Roofing Of Memphis ensures your chimney is sealed correctly and within your budget.
Some property insurance policies provide coverage for chimney flashing damage caused by covered events such as windstorms, heavy hail, or fallen tree limbs. However, coverage limits vary heavily by policy terms and carriers.
Generally, insurance companies cover damage that is the direct result of a sudden, violent weather event. If a storm lifts your metal counter-flashing or rips away pieces of your roof’s edge, your policy should cover repairs to restore your home’s structural integrity. If you want your insurance company to cover your repairs, be sure to take clear digital photos of the impact marks or loose metal immediately after the storm so your insurance adjuster can verify the core cause of the damage.
When it’s time to replace your chimney flashing because it’s rusted through, leaking constantly, or wrapped in layer upon layer of failing plastic roofing cement, it pays to work with a dedicated Memphis roofing company. The right company will thoroughly inspect your roof intersection, explain your custom-bent metal options, and develop an airtight plan that replaces your old flashing with a durable, high-performance upgrade.
A representative from Roofing Of Memphis can help you decide on the right material thickness, determine if your chimney needs a “cricket” (a small peak built to divert water away from the back wall), and coordinate a seamless installation. Our local crews work quickly to ensure your home’s underlying structure is always protected and secure.
If your flashing system is functionally compromised or torn away by a covered storm event, your insurance provider may help pay for a full replacement depending on your policy terms and deductible. It is best to have a professional inspector from our team present to walk the property alongside your insurance adjuster so that hidden water tracking beneath your shingles is properly accounted for in the claim scope.
The amount of time it takes to repair or replace your chimney flashing depends on the size of your chimney and the extent of the damage. For example, replacing a single rusted piece of step flashing or grinding out an old mortar joint to reseal counter-flashing is a straightforward job that can be completed in a few hours. A complete, from-scratch flashing replacement—including removing the surrounding shingles, installing a new ice and water shield, custom-bending new metal components, and embedding them into the masonry—typically takes anywhere from four to eight hours of precision craftsmanship.
If you need to speak with a professional about fixing rusted step flashing, retrofitting custom counter-flashing, or completely sealing your chimney base against heavy rains, we are here to help.
