Chimney Flashing in Orlando

Metal roofing and fabrication in Orlando, Florida, contends with significant humidity and intense heat year-round. While not directly on the coast, the region still experiences the effects of a subtropical climate, including heavy rainfall and the potential for hurricane-force winds. The existing building stock varies, with many structures built to withstand these environmental factors.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Building owners should consider the impact of high humidity on material longevity and potential for corrosion, especially for non-stainless steel fasteners.
  • Hurricane preparedness is crucial; metal roofing offers excellent wind resistance when properly installed and fastened.
  • The intense sun and heat can affect material expansion and contraction, requiring appropriate detailing and installation techniques.
  • Regular inspections are recommended to ensure the integrity of the roofing system against common weather challenges.

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.
