CHIMNEY RE-FLASHING
CHIMNEY RE-FLASHING
The connection between the chimney and the roofing system is one of the most critical areas when it comes to waterproofing. At A&J CONSTRUCTION LLC, we provide chimney re-flashing services in Somerset, Androscoggin, and Cumberland counties in Maine, focused on restoring protection in this area when the existing system shows signs of failure.
Unlike chimney flashing, which is part of an initial installation, re-flashing is a more comprehensive process that involves working on an already installed system. Over time, materials can deteriorate due to weather exposure, structural movement, or natural wear, making it necessary to fully replace the sealing system to address the problem at its source.
Scope of Service
Chimney re-flashing is not limited to applying surface sealants. It involves removing compromised materials and properly rebuilding the connection between the chimney and the roof.
This process includes:
- Removal of deteriorated flashing
- Evaluation of the base and overall condition of the area
- Preparation of the work surface
- Installation of new flashing components
- Sealing of joints, edges, and transition points
- Integration with the existing roofing system
Indicators That Re-Flashing Is Needed
There are several signs that may indicate the flashing system is no longer performing its function:
- Leaks in the area near the chimney
- Visible deterioration of sealing materials
- Cracked or detached seals
- Interior moisture stains
- Recurring issues after rainfall
Result of the Work
Properly executed re-flashing restores protection to one of the most vulnerable areas of the roof, improving water control and preventing leaks that could affect the structure.
At A&J CONSTRUCTION LLC, this service is carried out with a technical and precise approach, ensuring the chimney is properly integrated into the roofing system. We also offer free inspections and estimates to assess the condition of the area and determine the most appropriate solution.
