About chimney flashing repair
Chimney flashing repair covers more than the metal around the chimney. Our Elgin roofers remove damaged flashing, clean the joints, install corrosion-resistant flashings, and apply a durable sealant that keeps water from sneaking between the chimney and roof deck. We check for backer pans, counterflashing, and proper slope to ensure rainwater flows away correctly. This service is ideal for older homes with aging flashing, homes with heavy rainfall, or after large storms that shift roof lines. We work with most common chimney configurations and provide a clear, long-lasting seal that matches the scope of the repair. Our goal is a long-lasting seal that protects your attic and preserves the rest of your roof.
