Flashing seals the joint between your chimney and roof — when it fails, water runs straight into your ceilings and walls.

For many Bellevue homeowners, what appears to be a 'chimney leak' is, in fact, a failure of the crucial flashing where the chimney intersects with the roofline. When this vital metal-and-sealant interface corrodes, lifts due to weather, or was improperly installed, water bypasses the seal and flows directly into your ceilings and walls. Our skilled technicians meticulously trace the precise origin of the leak, then expertly reseal or replace the compromised flashing, integrating it seamlessly back into your roofing system to ensure complete, lasting watertight integrity.
Homes situated along Bellevue's Lake Washington waterfront are particularly exposed to intensified Pacific Northwest winds. These forces can lift and loosen chimney flashing much faster than inland properties, leading to premature leaks and necessitating earlier intervention for waterfront residences.

What's included
It's a common misconception in Bellevue: the majority of 'chimney leaks' actually stem from compromised flashing at the roofline, not the chimney's structure itself. The longer this unchecked water intrusion persists, the more extensive and costly the internal damage to your home becomes.
How it works
We trace water staining back to its actual entry point.
Sound flashing is resealed; corroded or lifted flashing is replaced.
Step- and counter-flashing are integrated back into the roof.
Photos document a watertight roof-to-chimney joint.
Local & accountable
Why it matters
For Bellevue homes, the vast majority of 'chimney leaks' don't originate from the chimney structure but rather from the flashing—the critical metal-and-sealant junction where your chimney meets the roof. When this flashing corrodes, lifts due to our vigorous PNW weather, or was initially installed improperly, water finds a direct path into your ceilings, walls, and even the hidden structural framing. Here, it silently promotes wood rot and fuels mold growth, often remaining undetected until significant damage has occurred. Identifying and addressing this issue early can transform what would be a relatively inexpensive reseal into a major, costly framing and drywall overhaul.
If any of these sound familiar, it's worth the $49 inspection — credited toward the repair if work is needed:
See the difference
Before: rusted, lifted flashing at the seam where chimney meets roof — the classic origin of a recurring ceiling stain. After: new step and counter-flashing, lapped in layers and sealed. Proper flashing is sheet-metal work, not a bead of caulk, and it is the only detail keeping that junction watertight through a Pacific Northwest winter.
New step and counter-flashing at the roofline, replacing the rusted metal that leaked.
Representative example of a typical chimney flashing repair — not a specific customer job. We add photos of our own completed the Eastside projects as we finish them.
A job we know well: a lakefront home where the same ceiling stain returns near the chimney after every heavy storm. On an exposed roof the culprit is nearly always flashing — rusted through, lifted, or held together by old caulk that has finally let go. The proper repair strips the failed metal and installs true step and counter-flashing, lapped and sealed at the roofline. The result is a junction that stays dry through the winter storms — and a stain that stops coming back.
