Chimney Flashing Repair in Levittown, NY
Chimneys are leak magnets: two materials, constant movement. We rebuild the flashing system properly. Our certified experts bring a decade of roofing experience to every chimney flashing repair job in Levittown.
The chimney is the most leak-prone feature on most Levittown roofs. Brick and mortar expand and contract at different rates than the roof deck, which works every flashing joint loose over time. Add NY freeze-thaw cycles or summer heat, and the counter flashing, step flashing, and cricket behind the chimney all become prime suspects when water appears near the fireplace.
Our chimney flashing repair rebuilds the full system: step flashing woven into the shingle courses, counter flashing reglet-cut into the mortar joints, and a cricket to divert water on wide chimneys. We also inspect the mortar crown and brick condition, because flashing cannot seal a crumbling chimney — and we will tell you honestly if masonry work is needed first.
Signs You Need Chimney Flashing Repair
- Leak near the fireplace: Water stains on the ceiling or wall around the chimney breast point straight at flashing.
- Efflorescence on brick: White mineral deposits mean water is moving through the masonry — often past failed counter flashing.
- Rust on the chimney cap or flashing: Corroded metal has lost its seal and needs replacement, not paint.
- Gaps between flashing and brick: Visible separation at the mortar line is an open invitation to rain.
- Damp attic near the chimney: Moisture on the chimney-side rafters or decking confirms the breach before it reaches your ceiling.
How We Handle Chimney Flashing Repair in Levittown
- Full chimney assessment: Flashing, mortar joints, crown, and brick face are all evaluated — flashing cannot fix bad masonry.
- Old flashing removal: Failed step and counter flashing come out; surrounding shingles are preserved.
- Reglet-cut counter flashing: New counter flashing is cut into the mortar joint — the correct, long-lasting method — not surface-caulked.
- Cricket and water test: Wide chimneys get a cricket to split water flow, then the whole assembly is hose-tested.

Chimney Flashing Repair FAQs
Because the chimney-roof joint moves constantly as brick and wood expand differently. The flashing bridging that joint fatigues and separates — the surrounding shingles can be perfect while the joint itself fails.
Any chimney wider than about 30 inches should have one. Without it, water and debris pond against the uphill face and overwhelm the flashing. We add properly built crickets during the repair.
Roofing cement over chimney flashing is a months-long bandage. Thermal movement cracks it, and it traps moisture against the brick. A proper reglet-cut flashing rebuild lasts decades.
We will show you photos and be direct: flashing work on failing masonry is money wasted. We can coordinate the sequence — masonry first, then flashing — so you pay once for a lasting fix.
