Flashing is the metal that covers the joint between brick and roofing. It has to move with a house that swells in the wet months and dries in summer, and after enough seasons the sealant cracks, the metal rusts, or a reroof leaves it half covered. On the Northshore, where WeatherSpark counts about 6.8 months of wetter weather in Kirkland, a failed seam leaks into the attic long before anyone sees a ceiling stain. We reseal what can be saved, replace step and counter-flashing that cannot, and add a cricket behind wide chimneys when the code requires one.
Houses along Kirkland's lakefront and in Kenmore that face south take most of the season's rain on one side: WeatherSpark records a southerly wind for most of the year from about mid-September to late June. We pay particular attention to the flashing on the side facing it.
Most leaks around a chimney begin at the flashing. Fixing the seal early keeps water out of the attic framing, insulation and ceiling below.
Water that gets past the flashing runs down the framing beside the chimney, where it can rot wood and feed mold before a stain ever appears indoors. The 2021 Washington State Residential Code calls for a cricket (a little peaked water splitter) behind any chimney that measures more than 30 inches along the ridge line without reaching the ridge itself, and it must be flashed and counterflashed like the chimney joint. Moss is the other enemy: WSU Extension notes that most moss problems occur under or near the eaves and that unchecked moss cuts a roof's lifespan, and Oregon State University Extension warns against zinc sulfate treatments on roofs with copper flashing, because zinc corrodes copper.
How it works
We check the flashing and the masonry above it, since both can leak at the same spot.
Sound metal gets resealed; rusted or badly fitted metal is replaced.
New pieces are woven into the shingles and set into the mortar joints.

Serving the Northshore, Kirkland to Woodinville
A stain beside the chimney, damp framing next to it in the attic, or rusted metal at the roofline all point there. Some leaks come through the brick above the flashing instead, so we check both.
Our range is $375–$1,500. Resealing sound metal is the cheaper end; new flashing all the way around, or a cricket, costs more.
A little peaked ridge behind a wide chimney that sends the water off to either side. Washington's code calls for one when the chimney runs more than 30 inches along the ridge direction and does not reach the peak.
It is the ideal time. Reusing old flashing under new shingles is a common cause of leaks, and the chimney is fully accessible during the reroof.
Check the flashing first. Oregon State University Extension advises against zinc sulfate on roofs with copper flashing, gutters or downspouts, because zinc corrodes copper.
