About Stackline Chimney & Roof Leak Co.

Chimney Flashing Repair Company in East Hartland, CT Near Me

Chimney flashing repair in Connecticut often means old houses. Colonials and capes with big center chimneys are common across the state, and many of them have been reroofed several times, sometimes without anyone replacing the flashing. Nor'easters drive rain sideways into loose counter flashing, and New England winters bring enough freeze-thaw to crack crowns and wash out soft historic mortar. Center chimneys on these houses are wide, so the uphill side often needs a cricket that was never built.

  • 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 East Hartland, CT: Why Call Us

Chimney leak repair in Connecticut calls for care with older masonry. Our crew uses lime-rich mortar on soft old brick, because hard modern mortar forces the brick faces to break off. We regrind reglets for counter flashing instead of caulking metal to the surface, and on slate or cedar roofs we use copper flashing that lasts as long as the roof does. Before any flashing goes on, we rebuild flat mortar caps as sloped concrete crowns with a drip edge. Then we check the attic for stains that show whether the leak came from the side or the top.

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 East Hartland, CT

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 East Hartland, CT homeowners ask about chimney flashing repair and chimney leak repair.

Call (833) 583-1301
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.
Do I need a chimney cricket?
Building code calls for a cricket on the uphill side of any chimney wider than 30 inches, unless the chimney sits on the ridge. Even on a narrower chimney, a cricket helps if you see leaves piling up or water ponding behind the brick after a storm.
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.
Why does my chimney leak only in heavy storms?
Light rain runs off. Heavy, wind-driven rain gets pushed sideways into loose counter flashing, through open mortar joints and into an uncapped flue. If your leak only shows up in big storms, the flashing and the brick face are the first things we check.
How do I get a quote for chimney flashing repair?
Call (833) 583-1301. We will ask a few questions about where the water shows up and what the roof looks like, then set a time for our crew to look at it in person.
