Professional Chimney Flashing Repairs

Leaking where the chimney meets the roof?

That’s almost always bad chimney flashing or failed sealant. We stop chimney and roof leaks at the source.

What Is Chimney Flashing?

Chimney flashing is the metal (sometimes with sealant) that wraps around the base of your chimney where it passes through the roof.
Its job is simple: keep water from getting into your home at that joint. When the flashing is bent, rusted, nailed wrong, or the sealant dries out, water can follow the chimney right into your attic, ceiling, or walls.

Signs Your Chimney Flashing Needs Repair

Call us if you notice:

Water stains on the ceiling near the chimney
Drips in the attic around the chimney after rain
Visible gaps where the chimney meets the roof
Cracked or missing sealant (roof cement/tar) around the flashing
Rusting or lifting metal flashing
Loose bricks or mortar at the base of the chimney

A flashing leak can look like a “roof leak,” but the roof may actually be fine — it’s just the connection point around the chimney. That’s why having a chimney specialist in the Orange, NJ area look at it is the fastest way to solve it.

Our Chimney Flashing Repair Process

Orange Chimney Repair Services follows a proven, chimney-first method:

Full inspection: We check the chimney base, roof shingles around it, mortar joints, crown, and any previous patchwork.
Identify the leak source: Sometimes the flashing is bad, sometimes the counterflashing is missing, and sometimes both.
Repair or replace flashing: We re-seat or replace step flashing and counterflashing so it sheds water properly.
Seal and waterproof: We apply professional-grade sealants where needed, not just roof tar smeared on top.
Check related chimney components: If you also need a crown repair, tuckpointing, or cap, we can do it in the same visit.

We don’t do “quick caulk and go” repairs that fail after one winter. Our goal is to give you a long-term fix that can stand up to North Jersey weather.

Why Flashing Fails in North & Central NJ

Homes around Orange, East Orange, West Orange, Bloomfield, and the rest of Essex County see lots of freeze–thaw cycles, driving rain, and roof replacements.

Any time a roof is re-shingled, the chimney flashing should be inspected. If the roofer re-used old flashing, or if the chimney masonry is shifting, you can get a leak a year or two later.
