Flashing & Chimney Repair in Riverton
Blame the shingles all you want; the metal is usually guilty. Most of the leak calls we run in Riverton trace back to flashing, the bent-metal details where the roof meets a chimney, wall, valley, or pipe. Shingles shed water in sheets. Flashing manages it at every interruption, and when the flashing quits, the roof leaks no matter how good the shingles are.
Chimneys Are the Repeat Offender
The mill-era cottages near the water carry original brick chimneys whose mortar joints have spent decades going soft. The counterflashing let into those joints works loose, the galvanized step flashing behind it rusts through, and water tracks down the brick into the framing. We cut clean reglets, install new step and counterflashing in aluminum or copper, and add a cricket behind wide chimneys so water splits around the brick instead of pooling against it.
The Bluff Has Its Own Version
Newer homes up the hill hide a different sin: dormers and sidewalls flashed with sealant instead of metal during the original build. Caulk is a gasket, not a flashing, and it retires after about a decade. Repair details are on our flashing and chimney repair page. Stain already showing?
