chimney flashing repair sits at one of the most common leak points on residential roofs: where masonry meets shingles. Failed step flashing, counterflashing, or cracked sealant sends water into attics during wind-driven rain. Daka Roofing repairs chimney flashings for homes throughout Allen, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Garland, Richardson, Murphy, Wylie, Prosper, Rockwall, and the greater Dallas–Fort Worth metro. Call (469) 214-5630.

Why chimney flashing fails
Sealant-only “flashings” dry out in Texas UV. Improper step flashing that was never woven into courses lets water migrate sideways. Rusted step metal, loose counterflashing in mortar joints, and cricket failures on wide chimneys are frequent finds during chimney flashing repair inspections.
Interior and exterior warning signs
Look for attic staining around the chimney chase, peeling paint on interior chimney walls, damp insulation, or white efflorescence on brick. Outside, watch for gaps where shingles meet masonry and for hardened caulk ridges that have pulled away.
Proper chimney flashing repair methods
Lasting chimney flashing repair usually means cutting in new step flashing, installing counterflashing into reglet cuts or mortar joints, and building or restoring a cricket when the chimney is wide enough to need one. Surface caulk alone is a short delay, not a fix.
Daka Roofing also checks nearby boots and wall flashings so we do not miss a second leak path.
When masonry work is part of the job
Spalled brick and open mortar joints above the roof line funnel water behind flashings. Coordinating masonry tuckpointing with roofing work prevents bounce-back leaks. We flag those needs clearly in proposals for clients across Allen, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Garland, Richardson, Murphy, Wylie, Prosper, Rockwall, and the greater Dallas–Fort Worth metro.

Frequently asked questions
Can caulk fix chimney leaks permanently?
Rarely. Caulk is a temporary bandage. Woven metal flashings are the durable solution.
Do you repair stone and brick chimneys?
Daka Roofing handles the roofing-side flashing and coordinates or advises on masonry needs.
Is flashing covered by insurance?
Storm-created failures may be; wear and tear often is not. We document cause honestly.
