Is water leaking near your chimney after every storm? In Minneapolis and surrounding areas, unpredictable weather makes your roof especially vulnerable—especially where the chimney meets the roofing. One of the most common culprits? Damaged or missing flashing.

At Top Hat Chimney Repair, we specialize in chimney flashing repair to prevent water from seeping into your home. Whether you’re in St. Paul, Maple Grove, or Burnsville, our certified technicians deliver long-lasting solutions that keep your home dry.

💧 Why Chimney Flashing Repair Matters

Flashing is a metal barrier that seals the intersection of your chimney and roof. When flashing breaks down due to age, weather, or improper installation, moisture can sneak in and cause costly damage.

Common Signs You Need Chimney Flashing Repair:

• Stains on walls or ceilings near the fireplace

• Musty smells or mold in your attic

• Peeling paint or crumbling mortar around the chimney

• Water dripping inside your fireplace during storms

Ignoring these warning signs can lead to structural wood rot and interior water damage.

🔍 What Causes Chimney Leaks in Minnesota?

1. Damaged or Improper Flashing

Over time, metal flashing corrodes or shifts. Our chimney flashing repair service identifies worn areas and installs durable, code-compliant replacements.

2. No Chimney Cricket Behind the Chimney

A chimney cricket—a sloped metal saddle—helps redirect water. Without it, water pools behind the chimney, leading to leaks. We build and install chimney crickets that meet Minnesota building codes.

3. Missing Waterproofing Sealant

Flashing is just one part of a leak-proof chimney. We also check and restore chimney crowns, mortar joints, and waterproofing to ensure full protection.
