Leo-Cedarville Chimney Flashing Repair
This project started with a frustrating pattern: the homeowner had already paid for patch work, but the leak near the chimney chase kept coming back. Instead of pushing a full replacement, the job called for careful root-cause work and a repair plan that would actually hold.
Location
Leo-Cedarville, IN
Issue
Repeat Chimney Leak
Scope
Targeted Flashing Rebuild
Outcome
Leak-Free Through Winter
The Problem
The home had already been patched once, but water was still showing up near the chimney chase during hard rain. The previous work treated symptoms, not the leak path.
Our inspection found aging flashing details, compromised seal lines, and a localized area of deck damage that needed to be opened up and rebuilt correctly.
The Scope
- Remove and rebuild chimney flashing details
- Patch damaged decking at the affected area
- Replace underlayment and shingles on the impacted slope
- Water-test and review with the homeowner before closeout
Why This Project Matters
Not every leak means the homeowner needs a full replacement. In this case, the higher-value move was a focused repair that dealt with the flashing assembly and damaged deck area directly.
The result: a smaller project, a solved problem, and a homeowner who did not have to buy a roof they did not need yet.
