Corroded chimney flashing on older homes
Why it happens here
Many North Garfield homes were built before 1960 and still have original galvanized steel flashing. After 60+ years, this metal corrodes through. The rust is often hidden behind counter flashing until a leak appears inside.
Our approach
We remove the old flashing, inspect the chimney and roof deck for damage, and install new copper or galvanized flashing. We also add kickout flashing if it is missing, which prevents future water intrusion at the wall.
