Chimney Flashing in Pembroke Pines

Metal roofing and fabrication in Pembroke Pines, Florida, must contend with the pervasive effects of coastal salt air and intense humidity, which can accelerate corrosion on certain metals. The region’s significant hurricane exposure necessitates robust installation techniques and material choices to withstand high winds and driving rain. The subtropical climate also brings intense solar heat gain, impacting material performance and energy efficiency, while the diverse building stock, ranging from older structures to newer developments, presents varied challenges for both roofing and fabrication projects.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Building owners should select corrosion-resistant metal alloys suitable for coastal environments to ensure longevity.
  • Proper ventilation is crucial to mitigate the effects of high humidity and prevent moisture buildup, especially in attics and enclosed spaces.
  • Hurricane preparedness should guide material selection and installation methods, prioritizing wind resistance and secure fastening systems.
  • Consider the long-term benefits of metal roofing, such as energy efficiency due to solar reflectivity, which can help offset initial costs in the hot Florida climate.

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.
