At Billy White Roofing, we inspect a lot of chimneys. One of the most common
problems we see is water coming into the home and causing damage to the
structure.
Chimney flashing is a bent sheet of metal installed at the base of the chimney.
Flashing ensures the seam where the chimney and roof meet is watertight.
Just like anything on the exterior of your home, your chimney flashing is
exposed to the elements and is susceptible to deterioration. An improper seal
around your chimney can eventually lead to moisture getting into your walls.
If you notice any dampness or water stains around the area where your chimney
is located, it is best to take preventative action and call us. We can inspect your
chimney flashing and determine if it needs to be repaired or replaced.
The chimney crown is the uppermost part of the chimney. It is your first line of
defense against precipitation. Its sloped surface is designed to prevent water in
the form of rain or snow from entering your home by way of the chimney.
Time, environmental factors, or unexpected damage will cause this crown to
break down and eventually let water seep in behind the bricks. If damages to the
crown are not discovered and repaired in a timely manner, the brick masonry
will begin to soften, decay, and eventually break away from the chimney.
Prevent extensive damage to your home by calling Billy White Roofing and
having your crown repaired the first time you notice signs of damage.
