Chimney Flashing Repair in Myrtle Beach, SC

Stop the leak where the chimney meets the roof, without tearing off the whole roof

Chimney flashing repair starts with finding where the water is getting past the metal, and on most Grand Strand homes it is the step flashing, the counter flashing, or a seal that has dried out, not the chimney itself. Linta Roofing repairs and replaces leaking chimney flashing. Call 843-272-1906 for a free inspection.

Chimney Flashing Repair That Fixes the Leak, Not Just the Caulk

Most chimney leaks start at the flashing, the metal that seals the chimney to the roof. When the step flashing, counter flashing, or cricket lifts, rusts, or loses its seal, rain runs behind it and into the attic, and salt air speeds that up on the coast. We find where the water gets in, repair or replace the flashing that failed, and tie it back into the shingles. Our guide to roof flashing replacement in Myrtle Beach explains how flashing fails. For leaks and damage elsewhere on the roof, see our roof repair services. Linta Roofing has been family owned since 1948 and is a GAF Master Elite and IKO ROOFPRO Craftsman Premier contractor.

Signs Your Chimney Flashing Needs Repair

Not sure if your roof needs attention? Here are common warning signs homeowners in Myrtle Beach should never ignore:

Ceiling or Wall Stains Near the Chimney

A stain on the ceiling or the wall beside the fireplace, especially after wind-driven rain, usually means water is getting behind the flashing and running down the framing.

Water in the Attic Around the Chimney

Damp or darkened decking, wet insulation, or drips along the chimney chase in the attic point to a flashing leak even before anything shows downstairs.

Rusted, Lifted, or Loose Flashing

Steel flashing corrodes in salt air, and wind can pull the top edge of counter flashing out of the mortar joint. Any gap there opens a path for rain.

Cracked Caulk or Tar Patches

Thick tar or caulk smeared over the flashing is a sign of earlier quick fixes. Once it dries and cracks, the leak comes back.

Missing or Damaged Cricket

A cricket is the small peaked ridge behind the chimney that sends water around it. Water and debris pile up behind a chimney that has no cricket, or one that has failed, and that uphill side is where many chimney leaks start.

Chimney Flashing Repair Cost

Resealing or reflashing a chimney costs far less than a new roof, because we fix the failed flashing instead of replacing the roof around it. Re-flashing a whole chimney costs around $1,800, depending on its size. If only a small section has failed, it costs less, and a large chimney with a lot of rot around it can run upwards of $3,000. You get a written price after the inspection and before any work starts. All our repair prices are on our roof repair and replacement pricing page. For flashing prices by roof area and material, see our roof flashing cost guide for Myrtle Beach.

Benefits of Chimney Flashing Repair

Fixes the actual entry point instead of covering it with another layer of caulk.

Roofers and not a handyman, so the flashing and the shingles around the chimney are sealed together.

In-house crews from our Little River shop, never subcontractors.

Backed by a workmanship warranty on every repair.

Chimney Flashing Repair FAQs

Common questions about chimney flashing repair from our roofing contractors

Small failures, such as a loose counter flashing or a dried-out seal, can often be repaired. When the metal is rusted through, was installed wrong, or has been patched with tar more than once, replacing the flashing is the lasting fix. We will tell you which one applies during the inspection.

Yes. Linta Roofing is based in Little River at 324 State Highway 57 S and repairs chimney flashing across Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand. We are a family-owned company with 1000+ 5-star Google reviews, and our own crews do the work, never subcontractors. Call 843-272-1906 to book a free roof inspection.

Most chimney leaks come from the flashing where the chimney meets the roof. Failed step or counter flashing, cracked sealant, and a missing cricket are the common causes. A cracked crown or porous brick can also let water in from above, so we check for both. If the source is hard to pin down, our roof leak detection service traces it from the attic.

Re-flashing a whole chimney costs around $1,800, depending on its size. A small section costs less, and a large chimney with a lot of rot around it can run upwards of $3,000. You get a written quote after the inspection and before work begins.

Caulk can slow a leak for a short time, but it does not fix flashing that has lifted, rusted, or been installed wrong. Sun and salt air break sealant down quickly on the coast, so a caulk-only patch usually fails within a season or two.
