Many instances of what homeowners perceive as a 'chimney leak' are actually not originating from the chimney itself, but rather from failed flashing where the chimney meets the roofline. When this critical metal-and-sealant joint corrodes, lifts, or was improperly installed, water finds a direct path, running straight down into your ceilings and walls. We precisely trace the true source of the leak, then skillfully reseal or replace the flashing, meticulously tying it back into your roof system to ensure a truly watertight seal that endures Renton's weather.
The high winds common to the Pacific Northwest can rapidly lift and loosen flashing, meaning waterfront homes in Renton often experience leaks from flashing failure sooner than inland properties. Prompt attention to these issues is key.

What's included
The vast majority of 'chimney leaks' are not actually problems with the chimney masonry itself, but rather failed flashing at the roofline. The longer this water intrusion persists, the more extensive and costly the interior damage to your Renton home becomes.
How it works
We trace water staining back to its actual entry point.
Sound flashing is resealed; corroded or lifted flashing is replaced.
Step- and counter-flashing are integrated back into the roof.
Photos document a watertight roof-to-chimney joint.
Local & accountable
Why it matters
It's a common misconception, but most 'chimney leaks' aren't a chimney problem at all – they originate from the flashing, which is the vital metal and sealant joint where your chimney connects to the roof. When this flashing corrodes, lifts, or was poorly installed, water gains a direct pathway into your ceilings, walls, and structural framing. Here, it can silently rot wood and foster mold growth long before any visible signs appear. Catching a flashing failure early ensures that what might be an inexpensive reseal doesn't escalate into a far more costly framing and drywall repair.
If any of these sound familiar, it's worth a free inspection:
See the difference
The before shows rusted or lifted flashing at the roof-to-chimney joint, the most common source of a ceiling stain near the chimney. The after is new step and counter-flashing, properly lapped and sealed. Done right, flashing is a layered metal detail — not a bead of caulk — and it's what keeps the roof watertight where two surfaces meet.
Rusted-through flashing stripped and rebuilt where the chimney meets the roof.
Representative example of a typical chimney flashing repair — not a specific customer job. We add photos of our own completed the Eastside projects as we finish them.
A common one: a two-story house up on Snoqualmie Ridge where a ceiling stain by the chimney comes back after every hard storm. Up on the Ridge, wind-driven rain finds any flashing that's rusted, lifted or living on old caulk. We strip the failed metal and install proper step and counter-flashing, lapped and sealed into the roof. The joint stays dry through the next storm cycle, and the stain finally stops.
