Chimney and Flashing Leaks

Chimney and flashing leaks show up as a stain on the ceiling or wall next to the chimney, and the fix is usually at the flashing, crown, or mortar joints rather than the roof itself.

Signs It’s Time to Call

  • Water stain on the ceiling or wall beside the chimney
  • Rust streaks or loose metal along the chimney base
  • Cracked or missing mortar between bricks
  • A cracked or crumbling concrete crown on top of the chimney

What’s Usually Behind It

  • Counter-flashing pulled loose as mortar joints deteriorate
  • Old caulk used in place of real step and counter flashing
  • Freeze-thaw cycling cracking the crown and opening the brick
  • Rusted galvanized flashing on older chimneys
NEPA context

Chimney and Flashing Leaks in Northeastern Pennsylvania

Brick chimneys are nearly universal on pre-1960 homes in Scranton, Dunmore, Carbondale, Honesdale, and the surrounding areas, and 40 or more freeze-thaw cycles in a single winter are hard on mortar. Late-winter rain-on-snow events are the peak season for chimney leak calls across Lackawanna, Wayne and surrounding counties.
