Types of Roof Flashing

Step flashing consists of individual L-shaped metal pieces installed one per shingle course along the roof-to-wall transition. It is the most critical flashing type for preventing sidewall water infiltration.

Counter flashing is installed into a reglet (a horizontal cut in masonry) above the step flashing and overlaps it. The combination creates a two-part waterproofing system at chimney and wall transitions.

Valley flashing is installed in the roof valley where two roof planes meet.

Pipe boot flashing is a preformed rubber or metal boot that seals around plumbing vent pipes. The rubber boot collar ages and cracks over 10 to 15 years, becoming the single most common source of roof leaks on roofs under 20 years old.

Chimney Flashing Explained

A complete chimney flashing system consists of base flashing at the chimney base on all four sides, step flashing running up the chimney sides, counter flashing embedded into the chimney mortar joints, and a saddle or cricket behind wide chimneys to divert water.

The mortar joint into which counter flashing is embedded deteriorates over time, causing the flashing to pull away from the chimney and allow water entry. XRoofing re-embeds and re-seals chimney counter flashing as part of chimney flashing repair.

Signs of Flashing Failure

  1. Water staining on interior walls or ceilings near the chimney or walls
  2. Visible gap between flashing and chimney or wall masonry
  3. Rust streaking below pipe penetrations on the roof surface
  4. Sealant cracked, shrunken, or missing at any penetration point

Can flashing be repaired without replacing the entire roof?

Yes. Flashing repair is a standalone service. New flashing can be installed around any chimney, pipe, or wall penetration without disturbing surrounding shingles in most cases.

Most residential flashing repairs are completed in 2 to 4 hours. Full chimney flashing replacement may take a full day.
