Chimney flashing is the system of metal sheets and sealant that bridges the gap between your chimney's masonry and your roof's shingles. Over time, the caulk that seals flashing to the mortar joints dries, cracks, and pulls away, and the metal itself can corrode or be lifted by wind. The result is a hidden leak path that channels rainwater directly into your attic, wall framing, and interior ceilings—often without any obvious external sign until significant damage has already occurred.
Campbell Brothers Chimney Sweep identifies flashing failures during rooftop inspections and offers both sealant repointing for minor separations and full step/counter flashing replacement when the metal itself is damaged or improperly installed. We work with galvanized steel, aluminum, and lead-coated copper flashing depending on your roof type and budget, always ensuring that counter flashing is properly embedded into the mortar joints and step flashing is correctly woven with each shingle course.
Because many Charlotte-area homes were built with builder-grade flashing that was not intended to last the life of the chimney, we frequently discover original flashing that is simply inadequate for long-term weatherproofing. Our repairs follow standard roofing and masonry practices to give you a durable, leak-free intersection between your chimney and roof for years to come.
