- Old tar or caulk smeared around the chimney base
- Water in the attic running down the chimney
- A leak that started after a new roof or chimney work

Questions
Chimney Flashing: common questions
Can you just seal it with caulk or tar?
Sealant alone is a short-term patch. If the metal has failed or pulled away, replacing the flashing is the fix that lasts.
How do I know it is the flashing and not the roof?
We check both. We are roofers as well as chimney contractors, so we look at the whole area and tell you which one is leaking.
How do I get it looked at?
