Selections Of Chimney Flashing

Chimney flashing cushions the sections around the chimney from leaking water where the roof meets the chimney. Chimney flashing is one of the most forgotten areas in the prolongation of a structure. Most clients don’t give a lot of thought to their Blue Point home’s (or business’s) chimney flashing. Roof flashing is installed to hamper your Blue Point property from water problems and is generally laid down around vents, chimneys and skylights. The chimney flashing or caulking used to keep your flashing in place can slowly erode, making the roof prone to leaks. If water gets past your chimney flashing, there is nothing left to stop it from aggressive the structure’s walls and ceilings.

There are 3 systems of chimney flashing. ‘Step flashing’ – which diverts water from the roof away from your chimney. ‘Counter flashing’ – which is installed around a chimney to avert water from leaking into the dwelling. And ‘cricket flashing’ – which forestalls water’s nature to pond on the roof. Chimney flashing is made typically from sheet metal strips that are fashioned to fit securely around the base of the chimney where it intersects with the roof. Expressway provides flashing inspections, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to protect your chimney as well as your roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water penetration.
