Flashing Between Brick Chimney And Siding

There is a brick chimney located at a gable end of the house.

Flashing between brick chimney and siding. The flashing helps provide a watertight seal in the spaces between the chimney and the roof. This would have been put over the old siding and sealed onto the face of the brick. I live in a timber frame house built in 1991. Cut the side cap flashing to fit the angle of the roof so it overlaps each lower cap flashing at least 2 in.

Pound the flashing into the grooves and fasten with the drive in expanding anchors. Bend a piece of cap flashing to fit around the top corner of the chimney and add the cap flashing across the back of the chimney. The best way to remediate this joint is to remove the vinyl correct the joint and replace the siding. It seems as though this arrangement really isn t sufficient to keep water out of this location.

The ends of the clapboards on either side of the chimney butt up against a piece of vertical 1 x1 which lays directly against the chimney bricks. The metal would have flashed and sealed the joint. Water is channeled from the brick or siding of the chimney down the flashing and along the roof so that it may run off to the ground or to a gutter system. The siding j would have been applied over this metal and it.

Measure the length of the transition the intersection where the brick meets the face of the wall. Over time the flashing can wear down and will need to be replaced. External walls are sips. It is likely to require taking the siding off probably several shingles too and re flashing correctly placing tarpaper or ice and water shield above the base flashing up the chase and then re installing thesiding and shingles.

This video will provide you with a few ideas to repair damaged siding over brick wainscoting or small exterior brick walls attached to the face of a building that might not have been sealed. Improper siding and flashing details can lead to siding failure even with hardie plank.
