About Stackline Chimney & Roof Leak Co.

Chimney Flashing Repair Company in Maine Near Me

Chimney flashing repair in Maine means old capes and farmhouses, many with large center chimneys, and a lot of homes still heated with wood. Heavy snow sits on roofs for weeks, ice dams form at the eaves and behind chimneys, and long winters bring repeated freeze-thaw that cracks crowns and washes out mortar. Coastal homes also take wind-driven rain off the ocean. Salt air along the coast also shortens the life of galvanized flashing and cheap chimney caps.

Why call us for chimney flashing repair

Chimney Flashing Repair in Maine: Why Call Us

Chimney leak repair in Maine usually means working on old masonry. Our crew uses lime-rich mortar on soft brick, rebuilds crowns so they shed water and adds crickets behind wide chimneys to deal with snow. We run ice and water shield well up the slope from chimneys and walls. Masonry work waits for warm enough weather, and we tarp and flash when a leak cannot wait. On coastal homes, we use copper or stainless caps and flashing that stand 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.

Chimney Flashing Repair FAQs

Questions about chimney flashing repair

Common questions about chimney flashing repair in Maine.

Call (833) 583-1301

Do I need a chimney cricket?

Building code calls for a cricket on the uphill side of any chimney wider than 30 inches, unless the chimney sits on the ridge. Even on a narrower chimney, a cricket helps if you see leaves piling up or water ponding behind the brick after a storm.

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.

How do I get a quote for chimney flashing repair?

Call (833) 583-1301. We will ask a few questions about where the water shows up and what the roof looks like, then set a time for our crew to look at it in person.
