About Stackline Chimney & Roof Leak Co.

Chimney Flashing Repair Company in Methuen, MA Near Me

Chimney flashing repair in Massachusetts often means older homes: triple-deckers, colonials, capes and Victorians with brick chimneys that have seen a century of New England weather. Nor'easters drive rain into loose flashing, heavy snow builds up behind chimneys, and ice dams back water under shingles. Freeze-thaw cracks crowns and wears out soft historic mortar. Triple-deckers usually have flat roofs with chimneys and parapets, where the flashing detail is different from a pitched roof.

  • Step flashing woven under every shingle course
  • Counter flashing set into a ground mortar joint, not caulked to the brick
  • Crowns rebuilt with a slope and a drip edge

Why call us for chimney flashing repair

Chimney Flashing Repair in Methuen, MA: Why Call Us

Chimney leak repair in Massachusetts calls for respect for old masonry. Our crew uses lime mortar on soft brick, copper flashing on slate roofs and crickets behind wide chimneys to handle snow. We regrind reglets for counter flashing instead of caulking metal to the surface. Winter masonry work is limited, so we tarp and flash first when needed. On triple-decker flat roofs, we flash chimneys and parapets with low-slope materials. Near the coast, we use corrosion-resistant metal that stands up to salt air.

Chimneys are the whole job

Chimney flashing repair and chimney leak repair are what we do. We do not sell full roofs or siding.

Step and counter flashing

Each step piece overlaps the one below and nails to the deck, never the brick. Counter flashing goes into a ground reglet.

Crickets where code calls for them

A chimney wider than 30 inches needs a cricket on the uphill side. We build them when they are missing.

Masonry done right

Soft lime mortar on old soft brick. Sloped concrete crowns, not flat mortar caps.

Leaks without a chimney

Wall flashing, skylights, vent boots and valleys use the same methods, and we fix those too.

Photos of the work

You see what failed and what we replaced, which helps if you are talking to an insurer.

How a chimney leak job goes

Four steps to chimney flashing repair in Methuen, MA

01

Call and describe the leak

Tell us where the water shows up and when. A stain that only appears in wind-driven rain points somewhere different than water in the firebox.

02

We find the entry point

Our crew checks the crown, the brick face and the step and counter flashing, because a leak at the chimney is not always a flashing problem.

03

You get a plain written scope

We tell you what failed, what we plan to replace and what it costs before any shingle comes off.

04

We fix it with metal, not caulk

New step flashing under each shingle course and counter flashing set into a ground mortar joint. Photos before and after.

Questions about chimney flashing repair

Questions Methuen, MA homeowners ask about chimney flashing repair and chimney leak repair.

Call (833) 583-1301
How long does chimney flashing repair take?
Most step and counter flashing jobs on a single chimney take a day. Adding a cricket, crown rebuild or tuckpointing can make it two. Waterproofing is often a second visit because fresh mortar needs time to cure first.
Will you match my existing shingles?
We reuse the shingles we remove when they are in good shape and bring matching replacements when they are not. On older roofs the color may not be a perfect match, and we will tell you that before we start.
Is chimney leak repair covered by homeowners insurance?
That depends on your policy and what caused the leak. Sudden storm damage is often covered, while wear and old flashing usually is not. We photograph the damage and write up what we find so you have something to show your adjuster.
What metal do you use for chimney flashing?
On most asphalt shingle roofs we use aluminum or galvanized steel. On slate, cedar or historic homes we use copper, which lasts as long as the roof. We avoid pairing copper with galvanized steel or aluminum on the same detail because the two corrode each other.
Why does my chimney leak only in heavy storms?
Light rain runs off. Heavy, wind-driven rain gets pushed sideways into loose counter flashing, through open mortar joints and into an uncapped flue. If your leak only shows up in big storms, the flashing and the brick face are the first things we check.
