Wall and sidewall flashing repair covers the spot where a sloped roof runs into a vertical wall. It is the same problem as a chimney, and on a lot of homes with no chimney at all, it is where the leak really is: a porch roof against the house, a dormer cheek wall, or a garage roof that tucks into a second story.

The correct detail is step flashing under every shingle course, with the siding or a separate counter flashing lapping over it. At the bottom of the wall, where the roof edge meets the siding, there has to be a kick-out flashing, a small bent diverter that pushes water into the gutter instead of down behind the siding. Missing kick-outs are one of the most common causes of rotted wall sheathing we see.

On stucco and stone veneer homes, the fix often means cutting back the finish to reach the flashing, then patching it after the metal is right. On vinyl or fiber cement siding, we pull the bottom courses, reflash, and reinstall the siding.

This work pairs well with skylight flashing repair if a leak shows up in more than one spot. Call (833) 583-1301 and our crew will trace it.

How a chimney leak job goes

Four steps to chimney flashing repair in Spanish Springs, NV

Call and describe the leak

Tell us where the water shows up and when. A stain that only appears in wind-driven rain points somewhere different than water in the firebox.

02

We find the entry point

Our crew checks the crown, the brick face and the step and counter flashing, because a leak at the chimney is not always a flashing problem.

03

You get a plain written scope

We tell you what failed, what we plan to replace and what it costs before any shingle comes off.

04

We fix it with metal, not caulk

New step flashing under each shingle course and counter flashing set into a ground mortar joint. Photos before and after.

Chimney Flashing Repair FAQs

Questions about chimney flashing repair

Questions we hear about Wall & Sidewall Flashing Repair in Spanish Springs, NV.

Call (833) 583-1301
How do I know if my chimney leak is flashing or something else?
Look at when it leaks. A stain that shows up during wind-driven rain from one direction often points to the flashing on that side. Water that shows up in the firebox or on the damper usually comes from the top, through an open flue or a cracked crown. Damp brick inside the attic after a long soaking rain points to porous masonry. Our crew checks all three before recommending chimney flashing repair.
Do I need a chimney cricket?
Building code calls for a cricket on the uphill side of any chimney wider than 30 inches, unless the chimney sits on the ridge. Even on a narrower chimney, a cricket helps if you see leaves piling up or water ponding behind the brick after a storm.
What metal do you use for chimney flashing?
On most asphalt shingle roofs we use aluminum or galvanized steel. On slate, cedar or historic homes we use copper, which lasts as long as the roof. We avoid pairing copper with galvanized steel or aluminum on the same detail because the two corrode each other.
Can a chimney leak be fixed in winter?
Flashing and caps can be installed in cold weather if the roof is dry and free of ice. Mortar work and crown repairs need temperatures above about 40 degrees for the mix to cure, so in cold months we may tarp and flash first, then finish the masonry in spring.
How do I get a quote for chimney flashing repair?
Call (833) 583-1301. We will ask a few questions about where the water shows up and what the roof looks like, then set a time for our crew to look at it in person.
