Chimney leaks from failed flashing
Why it happens here
Flashing is the metal seal between the chimney and the roof. Over time, the sealant fails and water gets in. The large chimneys in Franklin Estates have more flashing joints, so there are more places for leaks to start. Wind-driven rain makes it worse.
Our approach
We remove the old flashing and install new step and counter flashing. We seal it properly with high-quality sealant. We also check the crown and brick to make sure water is not coming in from another source.
