The spot where your chimney meets the roof is a leak waiting to happen. M&E Metal Roofing repairs chimney flashing across Anniston and Calhoun County to keep the water out.
Flashing is the metal that seals the joint where your chimney passes through the roof. It's one of the most common places for a roof to leak, because it takes constant abuse from water running down the roof and weather working at the seams — and once it fails, water pours into one of the worst possible spots.
M&E Metal Roofing repairs and replaces chimney flashing — step flashing, counter-flashing, and the sealant and details that tie it all together. We find where the water is getting in, repair the flashing correctly, and seal it so the joint stays watertight.
We're locally owned and operated by Donny Muse and John Elders, serving Anniston and all of Calhoun County. Because metal is our specialty, we handle flashing — a metal detail — with the right materials and methods.
The flashing failures that let water in around a chimney.
Rusted, lifted, or damaged flashing lets water run straight into the roof. We repair or replace it.
Old, cracked sealant at the chimney joint is a frequent leak point we renew.
Water staining near the chimney almost always traces back to flashing — we find it and fix it.
Loose or missing counter-flashing at the masonry is repaired for a proper, watertight seal.
Ask any roofer where roofs leak, and chimneys will be near the top of the list. The chimney interrupts the roof's shedding surface, so water has to be guided around it — and that job falls entirely to the flashing. When it fails, water doesn't just stain a ceiling; it can rot framing and ruin the area around the chimney.
A proper chimney flashing repair isn't a bead of caulk. It's step flashing woven into the roofing, counter-flashing set into the masonry, and clean sealing of the details — done so water is directed away, not trapped.
We fix it the right way so the leak is gone for good, and we'll check the surrounding roofing for any damage the leak has already caused.
Every chimney flashing repair is done to keep that vulnerable joint sealed.
Almost always failing flashing or sealant at the chimney-to-roof joint. The chimney interrupts the roof surface, so the flashing has to guide water around it — and when it fails, water gets in. We find the exact cause and repair it.
It depends on the condition. Minor issues can be repaired and re-sealed; rusted or badly damaged flashing is best replaced. We'll give you an honest recommendation.
Rarely. A bead of caulk is a temporary patch at best. A proper repair uses correct step and counter-flashing and clean sealing so the joint stays watertight for the long haul.
Possibly — chimney leaks can rot decking and framing nearby. We check the surrounding area and let you know if anything else needs attention.
