If your roof is leaking around your chimney

It is almost always a flashing issue.

This is one of the most common problems we see across Nashville homes. Water runs down your roof, hits the chimney, and if that area is not sealed correctly, it works its way inside.

At Mr. GoodRoof, we specialize in chimney flashing repair to stop leaks at the source, not just temporarily cover them up.

Why Chimney Leaks Happen

Your chimney creates a break in your roof system, and that makes it one of the most vulnerable areas for water intrusion.

From what we see in the field, chimney leaks are typically caused by:

  • Cracked or deteriorated flashing
  • Improper step flashing installation
  • Failed sealant from past repairs
  • Water pooling behind the chimney
  • Storm damage and shifting materials

Many of these issues come from shortcuts taken during previous roofing work.

Signs You Need Chimney Flashing Repair

  • Water stains near your chimney
  • Leaks during heavy rain or storms
  • Moisture or discoloration on ceilings
  • Previous repairs that did not solve the problem

If you are seeing any of these, the issue will only get worse over time.

Why Many Chimney Repairs Fail

We are often called out after another contractor has already tried to fix the problem.

In most cases, the issue comes down to temporary fixes like:

  • Applying caulk instead of repairing flashing
  • Patching one area without addressing the full system
  • Ignoring how water flows around the chimney

These approaches may stop the leak temporarily, but they do not solve the underlying problem.

How We Diagnose Chimney Flashing Issues

We do not guess where the leak is coming from. We find it.

Our team physically inspects the roof and chimney from every angle, including:

  • Front apron flashing
  • Step flashing along both sides
  • Counter flashing attached to the chimney
  • Back side where water tends to collect

From our experience, water often travels before it shows up inside your home. That is why a full inspection is critical.

Our Chimney Flashing Repair Process

  • Identify the true source of the leak
  • Remove compromised materials if needed
  • Repair or replace damaged flashing sections
  • Reinforce key transition areas
  • Ensure proper water flow away from the chimney

Our goal is to fix the issue correctly so you are not dealing with the same problem again.

Repair vs Replacement – What Do You Actually Need?

Not every chimney issue requires full flashing replacement.

If the problem is localized, repair is often the best option.

If the flashing system is failing across multiple areas or was installed incorrectly from the start, replacement may be recommended.

We will walk you through both options so you can make the right decision.

Built for Nashville Weather

Homes in Nashville deal with heavy rain, strong storms, and wind-driven water.

The chimney area takes a direct hit during these conditions, which is why proper flashing repair is critical.

Your roof should be built to handle real-world weather, not just basic conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my chimney leak only during heavy rain?

When done correctly, a repair can last many years, depending on the condition of the surrounding system.

Larger chimneys often require a cricket to prevent water from pooling behind them.

This is usually due to flashing failure combined with water being forced into weak points by wind.
