Chimney & Flashing Repair in Fayetteville, Arkansas

A chimney is the most common place for a roof to leak, and the flashing is usually the culprit. The metal that seals where the roof meets the chimney fails over time, and the water finds the gap. Chimney and flashing repair in Fayetteville means a watertight seal at the chimney.

Signs Your Fayetteville Chimney Needs Flashing Work

• Water stains on the ceiling near the chimney — the classic leak sign
• Lifted or rusted flashing — the metal failed at the joint
• Cracks in the mortar or brick — water getting in at the chimney
• A musty smell near the chimney — moisture behind the wall
• Missing sealant at the flashing — the caulk failed

Why Fayetteville Chimneys Leak

The flashing around a chimney does a hard job. It seals the roof-to-chimney joint where the shingles end and the brick begins, and it has to shed water in every direction. Over time, the heat and the weather work the metal, and the sealant dries and cracks.

The spring storms are the test. Heavy rain hits the chimney and runs down the flashing, and if the metal or the seal fails, the water follows the chimney into the attic and down the wall.

Preventing Chimney Leaks in Fayetteville

• Inspect the flashing each spring — catch the failure before the storms
• Check the sealant — dried caulk is the first thing to fail
• Watch for water stains — a fresh stain is a flashing problem
• Keep the chimney clear — debris holds water against the flashing

Chimney tip: most chimney leaks trace to the flashing, not the brick. Re-flashing is usually a smaller job than homeowners expect — and a lot cheaper than the damage a leak does.
