Chimney Flashing & Repair · Orland Park, IL

Chimneys are the #2 source of roof leaks in Orland Park (skylights are #1). The flashing — three separate pieces of metal that knit the chimney to the roof field — has to be installed correctly the first time. Caulk-and-pray jobs from generalist roofers fail within 3–5 winters, often leaking down inside the wall cavity where the damage stays hidden until drywall stains appear.

Orland Park Roofing Pros matches you with contractors who specialize in chimney flashing — using soldered copper, lead-coated copper, or properly cut and bent aluminum, with cricket diverters on any chimney wider than 30 inches.

Chimney Flashing Services

The right repair depends on what's actually failing.

  • Step flashing replacement — interleaved with each shingle course along the sides of the chimney
  • Counter flashing replacement — set into a fresh mortar reglet on the chimney face
  • Apron / front flashing — bent metal pan at the downhill chimney face
  • Cricket / saddle construction — diverter for chimneys wider than 30 inches
  • Crown sealing and minor masonry repointing where required
  • Full chimney chase rebuild for severely deteriorated brick

Why 'Just Re-Caulk It' Doesn't Work

Roofing tar and silicone caulk applied over old failed flashing buys 6–18 months at most. The freeze-thaw cycle and chimney expansion will reopen every seam. Permanent repair means pulling the old flashing, cutting a fresh reglet into the chimney, and installing new step + counter flashing as a system.
