Restore Your Home with Expert Flashing Repair Services
At E-Builders, we know how important it is to keep moisture out, especially around chimneys, brick walls, and rooflines. Water intrusion can lead to mold, wood rot, and long-term structural damage.
Over time, protective materials can corrode, loosen, or pull away from the masonry. These gaps allow moisture to seep behind the surface, putting both the exterior and interior at risk.
Our team offers targeted solutions as part of broader chimney repair work, identifying the source of leaks before they spread.
We also handle precision tuckpointing, renewing mortar joints where water damage has weakened the structure.
For larger projects, our masonry restoration services ensure your brickwork stays solid, sealed, and ready to withstand the elements.
Signs Your Masonry Needs Flashing
- Water Stains Near Your Chimney – If you see water spots on ceilings or walls close to your chimney, flashing failure is a likely culprit.
- Visible Gaps or Rusted Metal – Flashing should sit tight and clean. If it’s cracked, peeling up, or rusting, it’s time for a fix.
- Deteriorating bricks or mortar – Water sneaking past bad flashing will slowly damage your masonry. Spalling or crumbly mortar is a red flag.
- Musty smells or mold – Flashing leaks can lead to moisture buildup in your attic or chimney, causing mold growth you don’t want to deal with.

Types Of Masonry Flashing Services
Chimney Flashing Repair
Chimney flashing is your home’s first line of defense against water intrusion around the chimney base. Over time, flashing can rust, pull away from the brick, or crack at connection points, leading to leaks and internal damage. Our team identifies the problem areas and restores the integrity of the system using high-quality materials. Depending on the design, this may include step flashing, base flashing, or cap flashing to ensure a complete seal. We make sure your chimney is protected where it matters most.
Counter Flashing Installation
Counter flashing is key to long-term moisture protection. It’s installed into mortar joints and overlaps base or step flashing to block water from getting behind the masonry. Our team installs custom-fit metal flashing that integrates with your brickwork for a clean, watertight finish. Often used in combination with tuckpointing or chimney repairs, counter flashing is essential for durable performance. It’s one of several flashing types, including step flashing and cap flashing, that work together to keep your masonry dry and secure.
Roof-to-Wall Flashing
When a sloped roof meets a vertical masonry wall, roof-to-wall flashing is what keeps water out of your home. Without it, water can creep behind bricks or siding and lead to wood rot, insulation damage, or mold. We install flashing that ties directly into the roofing and brickwork for maximum protection. Depending on your structure, this may include step flashing, base flashing, or even through-wall flashing in more complex builds. Every installation is tailored for durability and long-term leak prevention.

Frequently Asked Questions
Masonry flashing is a waterproofing system installed where brick or stone meets other materials, such as roofs or chimneys. It prevents water from entering behind the masonry, protecting your home from leaks, mold, and structural damage. Without proper flashing, even well-built masonry can fail over time due to moisture intrusion.
Signs of damaged chimney flashing include water stains near the fireplace, rusted or loose metal around the chimney base, deteriorating mortar, or visible gaps where the roof meets the masonry. If you notice any of these, a professional inspection is recommended.
Chimney flashing is typically repaired by masonry or roofing professionals. For the best results, especially with brick or stone chimneys, trust a skilled masonry contractor. At E-Builders, we specialize in expert chimney flashing repair and installation that protects your home from leaks and long-term damage.
Roof-to-wall flashing is installed where a sloped roof meets a vertical masonry wall. It directs water away from the joint between the roof and the wall to prevent leaks. This type of flashing is essential for protecting exterior walls and interior finishes, especially during heavy rainfall or snowmelt.
When properly installed and maintained, masonry flashing can last 20–30 years or more. Factors like weather exposure, material quality, and nearby roof drainage all affect lifespan. Regular inspections help catch minor issues before they become costly repairs.
