About Stackline Chimney & Roof Leak Co.

Chimney Flashing Repair Company in Ohio Near Me

Chimney flashing repair in Ohio deals with freeze-thaw winters, lake-effect snow near Cleveland and spring storms across the state. Older brick homes in Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleveland often have chimneys with flat mortar caps that crack and let water into the brick. Many homes were reroofed without new step flashing, and the result shows up as stains near the fireplace. Many Ohio towns also have older homes with slate roofs, which call for copper flashing that lasts as long as the slate.

Why call us for chimney flashing repair

Chimney Flashing Repair in Ohio: Why Call Us

Chimney leak repair in Ohio usually means working on the masonry and the metal together. Our crew rebuilds crowns, tuckpoints open joints and applies a breathable water repellent where brick soaks up rain. We then weave new step flashing under each shingle course and reset counter flashing into sound mortar joints. We also build crickets behind wide chimneys for snow and leaves, and we check every vent boot on the roof. On slate roofs, we use copper flashing. Near Lake Erie, we plan for lake-effect snow.

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 Ohio.

Call (833) 583-1301

How do I know if my chimney leak is flashing or something else?

Look at when it leaks. A stain that shows up during wind-driven rain from one direction often points to the flashing on that side. Water that shows up in the firebox or on the damper usually comes from the top, through an open flue or a cracked crown. Damp brick inside the attic after a long soaking rain points to porous masonry. Our crew checks all three before recommending chimney flashing repair.

What is the difference between step flashing and counter flashing?

Step flashing is the set of small L-shaped pieces tucked under each shingle course along the side of the chimney. Counter flashing is the metal set into the brick that laps down over the step flashing. The two work as a pair. One without the other leaks.

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.

My house has no chimney. Can you still help with a roof leak?

Yes. Much of our work is wall flashing, skylight flashing, vent pipe boots and valley flashing, which use the same methods as a chimney. On homes without masonry chimneys, those are where most leaks start.

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.
