Counter Flashing
Counter Flashing for Chimneys
Counter flashing is the upper metal piece that covers and protects the base flashing installed at the joint between the chimney and the roof. Its function is to fully seal this critical area to prevent water from entering behind the main flashing. When counter flashing is improperly installed, cracked, or missing, water can slowly penetrate and cause significant structural damage.
