When most people think about roof repair, they imagine shingles or tiles. But one of the most common sources of roof leaks isn’t the roof surface itself. It’s the areas where different materials meet, such as chimneys, vents, or skylights. These critical transition points are sealed with flashing, a thin layer of metal that keeps water from seeping in.
Over time, flashing can corrode, crack, or pull away from the roof, especially in Illinois’ extreme weather conditions. When that happens, rain and melting snow can seep into your home, causing leaks, water stains, mold growth, or even structural damage.
At Popejoy Roofing, we provide specialized chimney & flashing repair services for homeowners and businesses throughout Central Illinois, including Bloomington-Normal, Champaign-Urbana, Farmer City, and the surrounding towns. With decades of experience and industry-leading materials, we ensure your roof stays watertight where it matters most.
Fixing a leaky chimney properly involves more than just sealant; it’s a meticulous process addressing both metal and masonry. While a DIY fix is tempting, the precision and safety risks involved are why homeowners trust a professional. At Popejoy Roofing, our proven method ensures a secure, watertight repair built to withstand Illinois weather.
Our process begins with a safety-first inspection of the entire chimney system. We examine the bricks for deterioration (spalling), check the chimney crown for cracks, and assess the old flashing to pinpoint the leak’s true source.
We start by removing the failing flashing. If needed, we perform tuckpointing to replace crumbling mortar and restore structural integrity. We also repair the concrete crown to stop water from seeping in from the top.
True craftsmanship is key here. We install a two-part system, weaving step flashing with the shingles and then fitting counter-flashing into a groove we cut directly into the chimney’s mortar. This creates a durable mechanical barrier that directs water away.
Finally, we apply a high-grade sealant to the mortar joints for a completely waterproof seal. After cleaning the site, we conduct a final review to ensure the new flashing is perfectly integrated to protect your home for years to come.
