About Stackline Chimney & Roof Leak Co.

Chimney Flashing Repair Company in Gwynn, VA Near Me

Chimney flashing repair in Virginia covers older brick colonials, historic homes and suburban houses with fireplaces. Coastal areas deal with nor'easters and tropical storms, and the whole state sees humid summers and winter freeze-thaw. Many older chimneys have flat mortar caps that crack, and many roofs were replaced without new step flashing. Many homes in Richmond and Alexandria are historic, with soft brick and slate roofs that need careful work. The Shenandoah Valley and the mountains see more snow and harder freeze-thaw than the Tidewater.

  • 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 Gwynn, VA: Why Call Us

Chimney leak repair in Virginia means matching the fix to the house. Our crew uses lime mortar on older brick, copper flashing on slate roofs and properly ground reglets for counter flashing. We rebuild crowns so they shed water and use corrosion-resistant materials near the coast. We also build crickets behind wide chimneys for leaves and snow and check every vent boot on the roof. After a storm, we tarp first and come back for the permanent fix once the roof is dry. In the mountains, we plan for snow.

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 Gwynn, VA

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 Gwynn, VA 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.
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.
Why does my chimney leak only in heavy storms?
Light rain runs off. Heavy, wind-driven rain gets pushed sideways into loose counter flashing, through open mortar joints and into an uncapped flue. If your leak only shows up in big storms, the flashing and the brick face are the first things we check.
How do I get a quote for chimney flashing repair?
Call (833) 583-1301. We will ask a few questions about where the water shows up and what the roof looks like, then set a time for our crew to look at it in person.
