About Stackline Chimney & Roof Leak Co.

Chimney Flashing Repair Company in Birmingham, AL Near Me

Chimney flashing repair in Alabama is mostly a rain problem. Mobile gets more rainfall than almost any other large city in the country, and Gulf storms push that rain sideways into every joint on the roof. A lot of Alabama homes are brick ranches from the 1960s and 1970s with a masonry chimney on the roof slope, and many were reroofed without new step flashing. Our crew sees the result: stained ceilings next to the fireplace and rotted decking behind the chimney.

  • Step flashing woven under every shingle course
  • Counter flashing set into a ground mortar joint, not caulked to the brick
  • Crowns rebuilt with a slope and a drip edge

Why call us for chimney flashing repair

Chimney Flashing Repair in Birmingham, AL: Why Call Us

Chimney leak repair in Alabama has to hold up to hurricane season and summer thunderstorms that dump inches in an hour. We set counter flashing into ground mortar joints instead of caulking it to the brick, because caulk does not last in Gulf humidity and heat. North Alabama gets enough winter freezes to crack flat mortar crowns, so we check the top of the chimney too, not just the flashing.

Chimneys are the whole job

Chimney flashing repair and chimney leak repair are what we do. We do not sell full roofs or siding.

Step and counter flashing

Each step piece overlaps the one below and nails to the deck, never the brick. Counter flashing goes into a ground reglet.

Crickets where code calls for them

A chimney wider than 30 inches needs a cricket on the uphill side. We build them when they are missing.

Masonry done right

Soft lime mortar on old soft brick. Sloped concrete crowns, not flat mortar caps.

Leaks without a chimney

Wall flashing, skylights, vent boots and valleys use the same methods, and we fix those too.

Photos of the work

You see what failed and what we replaced, which helps if you are talking to an insurer.

How a chimney leak job goes

Four steps to chimney flashing repair in Birmingham, AL

01

Call and describe the leak

Tell us where the water shows up and when. A stain that only appears in wind-driven rain points somewhere different than water in the firebox.

02

We find the entry point

Our crew checks the crown, the brick face and the step and counter flashing, because a leak at the chimney is not always a flashing problem.

03

You get a plain written scope

We tell you what failed, what we plan to replace and what it costs before any shingle comes off.

04

We fix it with metal, not caulk

New step flashing under each shingle course and counter flashing set into a ground mortar joint. Photos before and after.

Chimney Flashing Repair FAQs

Questions about chimney flashing repair

Questions Birmingham, AL homeowners ask about chimney flashing repair and chimney leak repair.

Call (833) 583-1301
How do I know if my chimney leak is flashing or something else?
Look at when it leaks. A stain that shows up during wind-driven rain from one direction often points to the flashing on that side. Water that shows up in the firebox or on the damper usually comes from the top, through an open flue or a cracked crown. Damp brick inside the attic after a long soaking rain points to porous masonry. Our crew checks all three before recommending chimney flashing repair.
What is the difference between step flashing and counter flashing?
Step flashing is the set of small L-shaped pieces tucked under each shingle course along the side of the chimney. Counter flashing is the metal set into the brick that laps down over the step flashing. The two work as a pair. One without the other leaks.
How long does chimney flashing repair take?
Most step and counter flashing jobs on a single chimney take a day. Adding a cricket, crown rebuild or tuckpointing can make it two. Waterproofing is often a second visit because fresh mortar needs time to cure first.
Is chimney leak repair covered by homeowners insurance?
That depends on your policy and what caused the leak. Sudden storm damage is often covered, while wear and old flashing usually is not. We photograph the damage and write up what we find so you have something to show your adjuster.
My house has no chimney. Can you still help with a roof leak?
Yes. Much of our work is wall flashing, skylight flashing, vent pipe boots and valley flashing, which use the same methods as a chimney. On homes without masonry chimneys, those are where most leaks start.
