FAQs
Why is chimney flashing so important after a storm in Mountain City?
Chimney flashing is the metal or waterproof barrier that seals the joint between your chimney and roof. During Mountain City’s frequent wind and hail storms, this junction is highly vulnerable. Damaged flashing allows water to penetrate the roof deck, leading to interior leaks, mold growth, and structural rot. Prompt inspection and repair ensure that storm-driven rain or melting snow cannot enter your home.
How can I tell if my chimney flashing was damaged by the recent storm?
Look for loose or missing flashing around the chimney base, water stains on ceilings or walls near the fireplace, pieces of metal on the ground, or shingles that have lifted near the chimney. Inside the attic, use a flashlight to check for damp insulation or dark streaks on the rafters. If you notice any of these signs, schedule a professional assessment—some flashing failures are only visible from the roof or with moisture-detection tools.
What materials do you use for chimney flashing repairs in Mountain City’s climate?
We install corrosion-resistant step flashing and counterflashing made from galvanized steel, aluminum, or copper, depending on your roof type and budget. We also use high-performance sealants or soldering techniques for a watertight bond. These materials withstand Mountain City’s freeze-thaw cycles, high winds, and UV exposure, ensuring long-term protection.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover chimney flashing repairs due to storm damage?
Most Mountain City policies classify wind, hail, and falling debris as covered perils. If our inspection confirms the flashing was compromised by a specific storm event, we document the damage with photos and a detailed report you can submit to your insurer. Coverage varies by policy, so it’s essential to file a claim promptly and review your deductible and exclusions.
How quickly can you restore my chimney flashing and any related roof damage?
For minor flashing repairs, we can often complete the work in one day. If the storm caused broader roof or masonry damage, the project may take two to three days, including tear-off, flashing replacement, shingle matching, and leak testing. We prioritize emergency dry-in service within 24 hours of your call to prevent further water intrusion while the full restoration is scheduled.
Do you provide warranties or maintenance plans after chimney flashing restoration?
Yes. We offer a 5-year workmanship warranty on all flashing installations and honor manufacturer warranties on the metal materials. To extend the life of your roof, we also provide an annual maintenance plan that includes chimney flashing inspection, sealant touch-ups, and debris removal. Regular maintenance helps spot early issues before Mountain City’s next storm season.
