The flashing where your chimney meets the roof is one of the most common places a roof leaks. Bootheel Roofing repairs and reseals chimney flashing across Poplar Bluff and the Missouri Bootheel.
Where your chimney passes through the roof is one of the most leak-prone spots on the whole structure — and it comes down to the flashing. Bootheel Roofing repairs and reseals chimney flashing to stop the leaks that so often begin there and protect the structure around your chimney.
Flashing is the metal that seals the joint between the chimney and the roof. Over time it corrodes, pulls loose, or its sealant dries and cracks — and once it fails, water runs straight down alongside the chimney into your home, often showing up as a stain on the ceiling nearby.
Locally owned and led by Jayden Woolverton, we repair or replace failed flashing, reseal the joint properly, and stop the leak at its source — with an honest assessment and a free, no-obligation estimate.
Flashing is where chimney leaks live. Here's what goes wrong.
Old metal flashing rusts and deteriorates until it no longer seals.
Dried, cracked sealant at the joint lets water run down alongside the chimney.
Wind and settling can pull flashing loose, opening a direct path for water.
We repair the flashing itself, not just the stain it leaves inside.
Chimney flashing is a small piece of metal doing a big job: sealing the constant joint between a masonry chimney and the roof, two materials that expand, contract, and settle differently. It's no surprise it's one of the first places a roof leaks.
When flashing corrodes, loosens, or its sealant fails, water follows the chimney straight down into your home. Because the leak enters right at the chimney, it can rot framing, stain ceilings, and even damage the chimney structure if it's left alone.
We fix it at the source — repairing or replacing the flashing and resealing the joint the right way. It's a targeted repair that stops a very common and very damaging leak for good.
Every chimney flashing repair we do seals the joint properly and lasts.
Almost always because the flashing has failed — corroded, pulled loose, or its sealant has dried and cracked. The chimney joint is one of the most leak-prone spots on a roof, and flashing is what seals it.
It's the metal that seals the joint where your chimney passes through the roof, usually a combination of step flashing and counter-flashing. It bridges two materials that move differently, which is why it needs to be installed and maintained correctly.
In the vast majority of cases, yes. The leak is almost always in the flashing and sealant, not the chimney itself. We repair or replace the flashing and reseal the joint to stop the leak.
A ceiling stain near the chimney usually points to flashing. We inspect the whole joint to confirm the source. If there's separate masonry damage, we'll let you know honestly what we see.
Yes — when the flashing is repaired or replaced correctly and resealed properly, it stops the leak for the long term. Fixing it at the source is what makes it last.
