Chimney Flashing Repair
Flashing seals the joint between your chimney and roof — when it fails, water runs straight into your ceilings and walls.

It's a frequent misconception: many 'chimney leaks' actually originate not from the chimney structure itself, but from compromised flashing where the chimney intersects with the roofline. When this crucial metal-and-sealant interface corrodes, lifts, or was improperly installed, water finds a direct pathway into your ceilings and walls. Our process involves meticulously tracing the true source of the leak. We then either expertly reseal the existing flashing or replace it entirely, ensuring it's properly integrated and sealed with your roof to guarantee lasting watertight protection.
The powerful Pacific Northwest winds prevalent in Redmond, particularly near waterfront properties, can aggressively lift and loosen chimney flashing more quickly than in sheltered areas. Consequently, these homes often experience flashing-related leaks sooner, requiring vigilant attention.

What's included
The majority of problems labeled as 'chimney leaks' are, in reality, caused by compromised flashing at the roof interface, rather than the chimney's masonry. The longer this water intrusion persists, the more extensive and costly the interior damage becomes.
How it works
We trace water staining back to its actual entry point.
Sound flashing is resealed; corroded or lifted flashing is replaced.
Step- and counter-flashing are integrated back into the roof.
Photos document a watertight roof-to-chimney joint.
Local & accountable
Why it matters
It's a common oversight: most perceived 'chimney leaks' actually stem from the flashing – that critical metal-and-sealant juncture where your chimney meets the roof. Should this flashing corrode, lift, or be poorly installed, water gains direct access to your ceilings, walls, and structural framing. Here, it silently promotes wood rot and cultivates mold growth, often remaining undetected until significant damage has occurred. Identifying and addressing this issue early can mean the difference between an affordable reseal and an extensive, costly repair involving structural framing and drywall.
If any of these sound familiar, it's worth a free inspection:
See the difference
Before: rusted, lifted flashing at the roof-to-chimney joint — statistically the most common source of a ceiling stain near a chimney. After: new step and counter-flashing, lapped in sequence and sealed. Proper flashing is a layered metal assembly, not a caulk bead, and it is what keeps the junction watertight through a full wet season.
Failed roof-to-chimney flashing stripped, re-stepped and sealed watertight.
Representative example of a typical chimney flashing repair — not a specific customer job. We add photos of our own completed the Eastside projects as we finish them.
A common job: an Overlake home where the same ceiling stain returns after every major storm. The diagnosis rarely surprises — flashing at the roof-to-chimney joint, rusted or lifted, with old caulk doing a job caulk cannot do. The repair replaces the failed metal with proper step and counter-flashing, lapped in sequence and sealed. Typical result: a junction that holds through the next wet season, and a stain that stops returning.
