Chimney flashing is a critical component of a metal roof system designed to prevent water intrusion around a chimney. This page covers chimney flashing for buildings in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Chimney Flashing in Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale’s coastal location exposes metal roofing and fabrication projects to significant challenges from salt air corrosion and intense hurricane winds. The high humidity and heat common in South Florida can accelerate material degradation, while the proximity to the ocean versus inland areas can influence the severity of these environmental factors. Building stock in Fort Lauderdale varies, with many structures needing to withstand the region’s demanding climate.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Coastal environments require corrosion-resistant metal alloys and finishes to ensure longevity.
  • Hurricane preparedness includes secure fastening systems and wind-rated designs.
  • Regular inspection and maintenance are crucial to address potential salt spray buildup and humidity effects.
  • Building codes in Fort Lauderdale mandate specific standards for wind resistance and material performance.

What the work involves

This service involves fabricating and installing custom metal pieces, typically made of aluminum, copper, or galvanized steel, that are shaped to fit the contours of the chimney and the roof. The flashing is integrated with the roofing material and the chimney structure to create a watertight seal, often extending up the chimney face and under the counter flashing.

When this comes up

  • When a new roof is installed or replaced, existing flashing may be deteriorated and require replacement.
  • Damage to the existing flashing from severe weather events like high winds or hail.
  • Cracks or gaps appearing in the flashing due to age, material fatigue, or improper initial installation.
  • Visible signs of water stains or leaks around the chimney base on the interior of the building.
