Chimney & Flashing Repair in Redondo Beach, California

The chimney is one of the most common places for a roof leak in the coastal South Bay. The metal flashing that seals the chimney to the roof is the weak point, and the winter rain and the salt air find it every time. Chimney and flashing repair in Redondo Beach seals the gap and stops the leak.

Signs Your Redondo Beach Chimney Flashing Needs Repair

• Water stains on the ceiling near the chimney — the leak is running down the chimney
• Visible cracks in the flashing seal — the caulk has failed
• Loose or lifted flashing — the metal has pulled away from the chimney
• Rust or corrosion on the flashing — the salt air has eaten the metal
• A damp smell near the chimney in the attic — the moisture is trapped

Why Redondo Beach Chimney Flashing Fails

The salt air works on the chimney flashing year-round. The salt corrodes the metal, and the expansion and the contraction open the gaps. The winter rain finds the gaps and runs down the side of the chimney.

The flashing at the chimney is also the most exposed. The metal sits at the intersection of the chimney and the roof, and the water from the full roof section runs to that point.

Preventing Chimney Flashing Problems in Redondo Beach

• Inspect the chimney flashing each fall — the winter rain test is coming

• Re-caulk every 3 to 5 years — the fresh sealant keeps the water out
• Fix the small cracks fast — the small gap turns into a big leak

Flashing tip: in Redondo Beach, the chimney flashing is a common leak source. The fall inspection that checks the chimney seal and the corrosion saves the winter ceiling repair.
