Chimney Flashing
Chimney flashing in Vancouver is a crucial component of your roofing system that seals the gap between the chimney and the roof. It consists of metal strips, typically made of aluminum or galvanized steel, that is installed around the base of the chimney and overlapped with the roof shingles. The purpose of chimney flashing is to create a watertight barrier, preventing water from seeping into your home and causing structural damage.
Chimney flashing is a vital component of a well-protected roofing system. At Stonewall Roofing & Restoration Ltd., we specialize in installing and maintaining chimney flashing in Vancouver to ensure optimal waterproofing and prevent potential leaks around your chimney.
Signs of Damaged Chimney Flashing
It’s important to be aware of the signs indicating damaged or deteriorating chimney flashing. Look out for these signs:
- Water Leaks: If you notice water stains or water dripping around your chimney, it is a clear indication of faulty flashing.
- Rust or Corrosion: If the flashing material shows signs of rust or corrosion, it can compromise its effectiveness and lead to water penetration.
- Missing or Loose Flashing: If the flashing strips are missing, loose, or detached, they are unable to provide the necessary protection against water intrusion.
- Cracked Caulking: The caulk around the chimney flashing should be intact and free of cracks. Cracked caulking allows water to seep through and cause damage.
