CHIMNEY FLASHING REPAIR
The primary reason your chimney needs roof flashing repair is to stop leaks before they start. In Minneapolis, where heavy snow, ice, and rain are common, a leaking chimney is a top concern for homeowners. Water entering through a compromised fireplace or chimney can cause costly damage. At Top Hat Chimney Repair, we provide expert chimney flashing services to protect homes in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and surrounding areas like Eden Prairie, Blaine, and Maple Grove.
Without proper flashing, water damage can lead to serious issues, including:
-
Ceiling stains and discoloration
-
Mold growth in your attic or walls
-
Structural roof damage
By maintaining your chimney’s roof flashing, you can prevent water damage now and avoid expensive repairs later. Contact Top Hat Chimney Repair for professional chimney leak repairs in the Twin Cities.
Common Problems Leading to Chimney Flashing Repairs
1. Lack of Proper Water Barriers
Chimney flashing acts as the critical barrier between your roof and brickwork, preventing water from seeping into your home. Without robust flashing, water can infiltrate your roof and attic, causing chimney leaks. In Minneapolis’s wet and snowy climate, this is a common issue.
Our team at Top Hat Chimney Repair ensures your chimney is protected with:
-
Professional waterproofing
-
A properly constructed chimney crown
-
Rigorously tested leak repair services
Trust us to safeguard homes in Edina, Burnsville, and Plymouth from water damage.
2. Old, Worn-Out, or Damaged Flashing
Aging or damaged flashing must be repaired or replaced to maintain its effectiveness. In Minnesota’s harsh weather, flashing can deteriorate due to freeze-thaw cycles, wind, or storm damage. If left unaddressed, compromised flashing leads to further leaks and structural damage.
Our Certified Chimney Sweeps in Minneapolis inspect and replace flashing to ensure long-lasting protection for your home, whether you’re in Minnetonka or Woodbury.
3. Missing Chimney Crickets Cause Water Buildup
A chimney cricket (or metal chimney saddle) diverts rainwater away from the uphill side of your chimney, preventing water from pooling and causing leaks. Without a cricket, cascading water from Minneapolis’s heavy rains or melting snow can infiltrate your roof and chimney.
Top Hat Chimney Repair installs and repairs chimney crickets to protect your home from water damage, ensuring proper drainage for properties in St. Paul, Eagan, and beyond.
