About Stackline Chimney & Roof Leak Co.
Chimney Flashing Repair Company in Delaware Near Me
Chimney flashing repair in Delaware ranges from Wilmington rowhomes with shared chimneys to beach houses facing coastal wind near Rehoboth. Coastal storms and nor'easters drive rain sideways into every flashing joint, and salt air near the shore corrodes cheap galvanized metal. Inland, winter freezes are enough to crack old mortar crowns and loosen brick at the top of the chimney. Many older Wilmington homes also have flat or low-slope rear roofs where the chimney flashing detail is easy to get wrong.
- 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 Delaware: Why Call Us
Chimney leak repair in Delaware depends on where you live. Near the coast, our crew uses aluminum or stainless flashing and caps that stand up to salt air. On older rowhomes we work carefully around shared chimneys and flat or low-slope roofs where the flashing detail is different from a sloped shingle roof. Either way, we find the real entry point before we recommend a fix. We also rebuild flat crowns as sloped concrete so water runs off the top of the chimney instead of into it.
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.
Chimney Flashing Repair FAQs
Questions about chimney flashing repair
Common questions about chimney flashing repair in Delaware.
Call (833) 583-1301How 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.
How long does chimney flashing repair take?
Most step and counter flashing jobs on a single chimney take a day. Adding a cricket, crown rebuild or tuckpointing can make it two. Waterproofing is often a second visit because fresh mortar needs time to cure first.
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.
What metal do you use for chimney flashing?
On most asphalt shingle roofs we use aluminum or galvanized steel. On slate, cedar or historic homes we use copper, which lasts as long as the roof. We avoid pairing copper with galvanized steel or aluminum on the same detail because the two corrode each other.
Why does my chimney leak only in heavy storms?
Light rain runs off. Heavy, wind-driven rain gets pushed sideways into loose counter flashing, through open mortar joints and into an uncapped flue. If your leak only shows up in big storms, the flashing and the brick face are the first things we check.
