About Stackline Chimney & Roof Leak Co.

Chimney Flashing Repair Company in Plymouth, MN Near Me

Chimney flashing repair in Minnesota has to hold up to some of the coldest winters in the lower 48. Ice dams are a regular problem in the Twin Cities and across the state, and snow behind chimneys can back water under shingles for weeks. Deep freezes and spring thaws crack crowns, loosen brick and open mortar joints on older masonry chimneys. Older homes in Minneapolis and St. Paul often have poorly insulated attics, which make ice dams worse around the chimney.

  • Step flashing woven under every shingle course
  • Counter flashing set into a ground mortar joint, not caulked to the brick
  • Crowns rebuilt with a slope and a drip edge

Why call us for chimney flashing repair

Chimney Flashing Repair in Plymouth, MN: Why Call Us

Chimney leak repair in Minnesota means planning for ice and snow. Our crew builds crickets, runs ice and water shield well up the slope and sets counter flashing into ground mortar joints so ice cannot pry it loose. Mortar and crown work waits for temperatures that let the mix cure, and we tarp and flash first when a winter leak cannot wait. We also check attic ventilation near the chimney, since warm air leaking into the attic makes ice dams worse. Every vent boot on the roof gets a look while we are up there.

Chimneys are the whole job

Chimney flashing repair and chimney leak repair are what we do. We do not sell full roofs or siding.

Step and counter flashing

Each step piece overlaps the one below and nails to the deck, never the brick. Counter flashing goes into a ground reglet.

Crickets where code calls for them

A chimney wider than 30 inches needs a cricket on the uphill side. We build them when they are missing.

Masonry done right

Soft lime mortar on old soft brick. Sloped concrete crowns, not flat mortar caps.

Leaks without a chimney

Wall flashing, skylights, vent boots and valleys use the same methods, and we fix those too.

Photos of the work

You see what failed and what we replaced, which helps if you are talking to an insurer.

How a chimney leak job goes

Four steps to chimney flashing repair in Plymouth, MN

01

Call and describe the leak

Tell us where the water shows up and when. A stain that only appears in wind-driven rain points somewhere different than water in the firebox.

02

We find the entry point

Our crew checks the crown, the brick face and the step and counter flashing, because a leak at the chimney is not always a flashing problem.

03

You get a plain written scope

We tell you what failed, what we plan to replace and what it costs before any shingle comes off.

04

We fix it with metal, not caulk

New step flashing under each shingle course and counter flashing set into a ground mortar joint. Photos before and after.

Chimney Flashing Repair FAQs

Questions about chimney flashing repair

Questions Plymouth, MN homeowners ask about chimney flashing repair and chimney leak repair.

Call (833) 583-1301
How do I know if my chimney leak is flashing or something else?
Look at when it leaks. A stain that shows up during wind-driven rain from one direction often points to the flashing on that side. Water that shows up in the firebox or on the damper usually comes from the top, through an open flue or a cracked crown. Damp brick inside the attic after a long soaking rain points to porous masonry. Our crew checks all three before recommending chimney flashing repair.
Do I need a chimney cricket?
Building code calls for a cricket on the uphill side of any chimney wider than 30 inches, unless the chimney sits on the ridge. Even on a narrower chimney, a cricket helps if you see leaves piling up or water ponding behind the brick after a storm.
Will you match my existing shingles?
We reuse the shingles we remove when they are in good shape and bring matching replacements when they are not. On older roofs the color may not be a perfect match, and we will tell you that before we start.
Is chimney leak repair covered by homeowners insurance?
That depends on your policy and what caused the leak. Sudden storm damage is often covered, while wear and old flashing usually is not. We photograph the damage and write up what we find so you have something to show your adjuster.
My house has no chimney. Can you still help with a roof leak?
Yes. Much of our work is wall flashing, skylight flashing, vent pipe boots and valley flashing, which use the same methods as a chimney. On homes without masonry chimneys, those are where most leaks start.
