A closer look at chimney flashing
Explore the planning behind a closer look at chimney flashing. This illustrative project brief shows the decisions involved, not a completed customer commission.
The project brief
Address the junctions around chimneys, walls, valleys, and roof penetrations where water needs a controlled path.
The starting point is a review of the existing space, project goals, budget, and constraints. The following considerations show how that discussion can become a defined scope.
Roof-assessment considerations
- Review the affected roof junction and surrounding materials
- Assess existing flashing and accessible conditions
- Specify the repair detail and adjacent work
- Coordinate materials with the roof system
