Chimney Flashing Repair in Sunnyvale, CA
Chimney flashing repair for Sunnyvale homes
The chimney and the roof move and age differently, and the flashing that joins them takes a lot of stress. Over time sealant dries out and metal loosens or rusts, opening small gaps. Repairing the flashing properly is usually what stops a recurring leak near the chimney.

FAQ
What is chimney flashing?
It is the metal that seals the joint between the chimney and the roof so water runs off instead of getting in.
Can flashing be resealed instead of replaced?
If the flashing is in good condition, resealing may be enough. Rusted or loose flashing usually needs replacement.
Why does my chimney leak only in heavy rain?
Wind-driven rain can reach small gaps in the flashing or masonry that normal rain does not.
Is a chimney leak always caused by flashing?
Not always. Cracked masonry or a damaged chimney cap can also let water in, which the inspection helps identify.
Will the repair fix the stain on my ceiling?
The repair stops the water. Drying and repainting the ceiling is a separate step after the leak is fixed.
