Chimney & Flashing Repair in Apache Junction, Arizona

The chimney is the most common roof leak in the desert. The flashing seals the gap between the chimney and the roof, and the monsoon rain finds every gap. Chimney and flashing repair in Apache Junction fixes the leaks and protects the chimney.

Signs Your Apache Junction Chimney Flashing Needs Repair

• The water stains on the ceiling near the chimney — the flashing is leaking and the water is running down the chimney
• The mortar is crumbling on the chimney — the water is getting behind the flashing and the thermal cycling is damaging the mortar
• The rust or the corrosion on the flashing — the weather is corroding the metal
• The sealant is cracked or missing — the tar or the caulk at the flashing joint is failing
• The chimney is leaning or the brick is spalling — the water damage is structural

Why Apache Junction Chimneys Need Flashing Repairs

The chimney is the roof penetration that takes the most weather. The desert heat bakes the flashing and the sealant, and the monsoon rain tests the joints. The expansion and the contraction cycle the metal and the sealant cracks.

The step flashing is the key. Each piece of flashing steps up the side of the chimney and the counter flashing covers the top edge. If the step flashing is corroded or the counter flashing is loose, the water runs behind the flashing and into the house.
