The chimney flashing is the transition piece, likely made of lead, rubber or copper, that meets the roof with the brick structure. When the chimney is leaking, the flashing is one of the first areas assessed to check for breaks and/or voids. If not properly attached, it allows the elements, especially rainwater, to enter the home and create damage. Sometimes, flashing repair is a simple task; other times, more extensive repair work is required.
