Leaks around a chimney can come from failed flashing, damaged shingles or roofing, or deterioration in the masonry itself. Brickstar repairs the chimney and surrounding roof area together when needed, including flashing replacement, shingle replacement and localized roof repairs.
We repair and replace chimney flashing where the masonry meets the roof. Depending on the roof and chimney construction, this may include step flashing, counter flashing and apron flashing. When flashing has failed or was installed incorrectly, we remove and replace the affected areas rather than simply sealing over the problem.
Missing, cracked or damaged shingles can leave the roof deck exposed to water. We replace individual shingles and damaged sections of roofing and can make minor repairs to the roof area surrounding a chimney.
We work with asphalt shingles, architectural shingles, slate, cedar shake and metal roofing for localized repairs, flashing work and chimney-related roof repairs.
Finding the actual source of a chimney leak is important before making repairs. Water can enter through failed flashing, damaged roofing, deteriorated mortar joints, chimney crowns, caps, or other masonry components. We evaluate the chimney and surrounding roof area so the repair addresses the source of the water intrusion rather than simply covering the visible damage.
High winds and storms can tear off shingles, loosen flashing, and leave sections of a roof exposed to water. We repair localized storm damage and replace affected roofing and flashing without turning a smaller repair into a full roof replacement.

Chimney leaks can come from the flashing, roofing, mortar joints, crown, cap, or a combination of areas. We look at the chimney and surrounding roof together to find the source before deciding what needs to be repaired.
