About Stackline Chimney & Roof Leak Co.

Chimney Flashing Repair Company in Maxwelton, WV Near Me

Chimney flashing repair in West Virginia deals with older homes, hilly terrain and a climate that swings between humid summers and freezing winters. Many chimneys are old brick or stone, and freeze-thaw cracks crowns and opens mortar joints. Heavy rain and tree debris add to the load on the flashing. Many older homes also have chimneys on the outside wall, where the flashing runs up the side of the house.

  • Step flashing woven under every shingle course
  • Counter flashing set into a ground mortar joint, not caulked to the brick
  • Crowns rebuilt with a slope and a drip edge

Why call us for chimney flashing repair

Chimney Flashing Repair in Maxwelton, WV: Why Call Us

Chimney leak repair in West Virginia calls for care with old masonry. Our crew uses mortar matched to the brick or stone, rebuilds crowns and clears debris that holds water against the flashing. We replace caulked flashing with woven step flashing and counter flashing ground into the mortar. We also build crickets behind wide chimneys and apply a breathable water repellent where brick soaks up rain. After a storm, we tarp first and come back for the permanent fix once the roof is dry. Masonry work waits for warm enough weather.

Chimneys are the whole job

Chimney flashing repair and chimney leak repair are what we do. We do not sell full roofs or siding.

Step and counter flashing

Each step piece overlaps the one below and nails to the deck, never the brick. Counter flashing goes into a ground reglet.

Crickets where code calls for them

A chimney wider than 30 inches needs a cricket on the uphill side. We build them when they are missing.

Masonry done right

Soft lime mortar on old soft brick. Sloped concrete crowns, not flat mortar caps.

Leaks without a chimney

Wall flashing, skylights, vent boots and valleys use the same methods, and we fix those too.

Photos of the work

You see what failed and what we replaced, which helps if you are talking to an insurer.

How a chimney leak job goes

Four steps to chimney flashing repair in Maxwelton, WV

01

Call and describe the leak

Tell us where the water shows up and when. A stain that only appears in wind-driven rain points somewhere different than water in the firebox.

02

We find the entry point

Our crew checks the crown, the brick face and the step and counter flashing, because a leak at the chimney is not always a flashing problem.

03

You get a plain written scope

We tell you what failed, what we plan to replace and what it costs before any shingle comes off.

04

We fix it with metal, not caulk

New step flashing under each shingle course and counter flashing set into a ground mortar joint. Photos before and after.

Chimney Flashing Repair FAQs

Questions about chimney flashing repair

Questions Maxwelton, WV homeowners ask about chimney flashing repair and chimney leak repair.

Call (833) 583-1301
Can you just seal my chimney flashing with caulk?
Caulk is a temporary patch, not a repair. Sealant bonds poorly to dusty brick and breaks down in the sun, so a caulked joint usually fails within a couple of years. A lasting fix is step flashing under each shingle course with counter flashing set into a ground mortar joint above it.
What is the difference between step flashing and counter flashing?
Step flashing is the set of small L-shaped pieces tucked under each shingle course along the side of the chimney. Counter flashing is the metal set into the brick that laps down over the step flashing. The two work as a pair. One without the other leaks.
How long does chimney flashing repair take?
Most step and counter flashing jobs on a single chimney take a day. Adding a cricket, crown rebuild or tuckpointing can make it two. Waterproofing is often a second visit because fresh mortar needs time to cure first.
Is chimney leak repair covered by homeowners insurance?
That depends on your policy and what caused the leak. Sudden storm damage is often covered, while wear and old flashing usually is not. We photograph the damage and write up what we find so you have something to show your adjuster.
What metal do you use for chimney flashing?
On most asphalt shingle roofs we use aluminum or galvanized steel. On slate, cedar or historic homes we use copper, which lasts as long as the roof. We avoid pairing copper with galvanized steel or aluminum on the same detail because the two corrode each other.
