If you have a leaky roof and are in need of some repairs, then you may want to see if your roofing company has checked your chimney out. Why would they need to check your chimney if it is your roof that needs repairing? Believe it or not, many leaky roofs can stem from leaky chimney flashings.
If you aren’t sure what chimney flashing is, it is a sheet of metal found near the base of the chimney and its job is to ensure that the area where the chimney fits into the roof is completely sealed. When your roofing company comes to check out a leaky roof, then you may want to make sure that they know to check the chimney as well.
A professional roofing company should include a chimney check in any roofing repair job they do. But why is it so important? Why should a roofing company check a chimney, even if they are just repairing a roof? Continue reading to find out.
Although your roof and your chimney are two separate things, they are connected. Your chimney is inside of your roof and is connected with a chimney flashing which has several different layers and pieces. That being said, if your chimney flashing is leaking or not connected completely to your roof, it can cause serious damage.
Sometimes other issues can arise from a leaky chimney flashing, causing roof damage. Simply repairing the roof damage will not get to the root of the issue. The real problem may lie within the chimney and if that is not fixed, then the issues will persist. This is why it is so important to do chimney checks when repairing roofs.
