Chimney Flashing in Hollywood

Hollywood, Florida’s coastal location subjects metal roofing and fabrication to significant challenges from salt air corrosion and intense hurricane exposure. The high humidity and heat further accelerate material degradation, while the proximity to the ocean versus inland areas can impact the severity of these conditions. Many buildings in Hollywood, Florida, particularly older structures, may require specialized attention due to their existing construction and potential for moisture-related issues.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Building owners should prioritize materials with high resistance to salt spray and wind uplift, especially in coastal zones.
  • Regular inspections and maintenance are crucial to address potential corrosion and ensure long-term performance.
  • Ventilation and proper flashing are essential to manage humidity and prevent moisture buildup, which can affect both roofing and fabricated metal elements.
  • Consider the specific building code requirements for hurricane-prone regions when selecting materials and installation methods.

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.
