Photo Album: New Flashing and Cricket Added to Chimney, Gallatin, TN

This house in Gallatin, Tennessee, developed severe leaks around the chimney, which didn't have a proper flashing. Leaves and twigs were accumulating on the foot of the chimney, which is not good for the longevity of asphalt shingles. Cracks around the chimney let water in each time it rained, and caused the decking underneath to rot. We replace the decking and built a new cricket to redirect water and debris from accumulating around the chimney. We added heavy-duty waterproofing layers and new flashing. Everything was sealed at the end.
