Flashing is the metal moulded around where your chimney stack penetrates the roof. Chimney Flashing is used to prevent water from entering at the joint where the roof and chimney meets. Damaged flashing can allow water and other elements into your roof, causing further damage such as rot, mould, and corrosion.
Damaged or leaking chimney flashing is caused by general weathering and old age. Depending on the material used, the life expectancy can range from 20 to 50 years.
For relatively new homes, another possible cause of leaking around the chimney is because the chimney is, in most situations, not connected to the frame of the house so when the house settles or shifts, the flashing becomes damaged.
The junction between the chimney stack and the roof is a very common site for leakage. Over time the metal flashing used to seal your roof and chimney can crack and become ineffective. Repair of the flashing is required occasionally to prevent weather from getting into your roof and causing further damage.

The lead lining found between the valleys of pitched roofs, over time water, dirt, debris and other garbage can wear down or crack the previously watertight lining. If not attended to shortly after leaks occur then the internal structure of your roof can accumulate mold & rot and will decay.
