Chimney Flashing Repair & Replacement in Oakville
Most ceiling stains near a fireplace are not a cracked chimney — they are failed flashing. We strip the old metal, cut fresh counter flashing into the mortar joint and lock it in so the joint sheds water for decades.
What's included
Every chimney flashing repair & replacement includes
- Removal of failed, tarred or surface-mounted flashing
- New aluminium or copper step flashing woven into the shingles
- Counter flashing saw-cut and locked into the mortar joint
- Cricket / saddle installation on wide chimneys
- Polyurethane sealing at all terminations
- Interior leak trace and photo verification
How the visit works
- 1
Find the real leak source
We water-test the chimney to confirm flashing, not the crown or brick, is the entry point.
- 2
Strip the failed metal
Old tar patches and surface-mounted flashing come off completely — we never layer over them.
- 3
Install and lock in
Step flashing woven shingle by shingle, counter flashing cut into the mortar and mechanically fastened.
- 4
Seal, test and warranty
Terminations sealed, a second water test run, and a written workmanship warranty issued.
