Chimney Flashing in Tallahassee

Metal roofing and fabrication in Tallahassee, Florida, contends with a subtropical climate characterized by high humidity, intense heat, and significant hurricane exposure. The proximity to the coast means salt air can accelerate corrosion on certain metals, while inland areas experience less salt but still face the challenges of heavy rainfall and strong winds. The diverse building stock, ranging from older structures to newer constructions, requires careful assessment for proper integration and performance of metal systems.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Building owners should select metal materials and finishes resistant to corrosion from salt air and UV exposure.
  • Proper installation techniques are crucial to withstand high winds and heavy rainfall associated with Florida storms.
  • Ventilation and insulation are important to manage heat gain and humidity, ensuring indoor comfort and preventing moisture issues.
  • Regular inspections can help identify any early signs of wear or potential issues, especially after severe weather events.

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.
