What Is Flashing & Why Is It A Common Cause Of Leaks?

Although water can make its way into the chimney system through a number of entry points, flashing is one of the most common places for water intrusion. Flashing refers to the sheets of metal strategically layered at the meeting point of the roof and chimney. Unfortunately, there are a few things that can render flashing ineffective at keeping water out of this vulnerable area of the home:

Poor Installation – One of the leading causes of flashing failure is poor installation. In order to be effective, step and counter flashing should be strategically layered where the roof and chimney meet. Each layer should be smooth and free of dents or rivets, and very few screws should be used. Unfortunately, not everyone knows the proper flashing installation methods or takes the time to do the job right.
Animals/Wind/New Roof – Even if your flashing is properly installed, animals and strong winds can lift layers or create dents where water can pool and rust through. Additionally, when you have a new roof put on, your flashing can be damaged or lifted during the process.
Poor Materials – Another common cause of flashing failure is poor material choice. Although aluminum can serve your chimney system for some time, stainless steel is much more durable and will help keep your system dryer longer.

I wanted to give 5 stars but they are very busy which meant I had a good wait for both the inspection/cleaning, then for a quote on repairs and then for the repairs. Their prices seemed a little high to me but I have nothing to compare with as they were highly recommended by someone I trust and other companies had plenty of negatives reviews which kept me from getting additional quotes. I am happy with the work and they promptly returned to fix a mistake that had been made. Chris the inspector, Jennifer in the office, and Alex and his repair crew were all pleasant and took the time to answer all of my questions. Alex and his crew even took their shoes off (it was winter) before entering my house without even being asked! So if you are not in a rush and want to ensure you chimney is as safe as possible then I think you'll be happy with Black Moose.

After a recent sweep of our chimney, it was discovered that our flue tiles were cracked. Black Moose techs were hard working, detail oriented and professional! Nice jobs guys! See you next year for my cleaning!

Excellent I highly recommend Black Moose Chimney and Stove; Kelly and Liam are awesome, they did a great job. Extremely professional, arrived early, went through everything with a fine tooth comb ensuring pellet stove was thoroughly cleaned. They also were respectful of my home, conscientious and cleaned up after themselves. Made sure stove worked prior to leaving and told me to call promptly if anything came up afterward. Will definitely use them again.

We've had Black Moose clean our chimney for a number of years.But recently, we had an emergency situation at our home involving our chimney & oil furnace flue, which was caked full of soot from a malfunctioning furnace. They came & cleaned out both flues in no time, even going up on the roof with snow on it! They cleaned up after their work in the interior rooms where the oil furnace and the woodstove are located. Great work. Reasonable prices. Very nice people. You can't go wrong with Black Moose.

Goods: The technicians know their business, very efficient in cleaning/inspection along with cleaning up after the 'dirty work'.Others: Communications could be more effective. Despite early coordination about scope of work (multiple flues within same chimney) the estimate provided did not reflect this and the final invoice was significantly more than the estimate provided.Quote for follow-on chimney relining was significantly more than that offered by other companies in the area (and far more than neighbors experienced for similar work accomplished by other companies)
