Protecting Your Roof from Leaks, One Chimney at a Time
Your chimney is more than just a decorative touch to your home—it’s a crucial structure that, if not properly sealed, can be the culprit behind costly water damage. That’s where chimney flashing and waterproofing come in. At Steel Rudder Roofing, we specialize in keeping your chimney (and your home) safe from water intrusion, whether you need a repair, replacement, or a fresh installation. Serving homeowners, landlords, and commercial properties across Jacksonville and Northeast Florida, we’re here to help protect your investment with expert craftsmanship and high-quality materials.
Chimney flashing is the metal seal that bridges the gap between your chimney and roof. Think of it as armor—it shields your home from rain, moisture, and debris, preventing leaks and water damage. Without proper flashing, or if it’s installed incorrectly, water can seep into your home’s structure, causing mold, rot, and even foundation issues.
At Steel Rudder Roofing, we’ve seen it all—rusted flashing, improper installations, and gaps big enough to let in a small waterfall. Our job? To make sure that never happens to your roof.
Not sure if your chimney flashing is doing its job? Here are some warning signs to watch for

Sometimes, a simple repair isn’t enough. If your flashing is beyond saving, we’ll replace it with high-quality materials designed to withstand Florida’s heat, humidity, and storms. Our team ensures a tight, watertight fit that keeps moisture out for years to come.
Waterproofing adds an extra layer of protection to your chimney. We use high-quality sealants and coatings to prevent water penetration, reducing the risk of leaks, cracks, and mold growth. Think of it as an insurance policy for your chimney!

A properly installed chimney flashing can last 20-30 years, but Florida’s harsh climate can accelerate wear and tear. Heavy rain, high humidity, and hurricane-force winds can weaken flashing over time, making regular inspections a smart move. If your home is older or has been through a few storms, it’s worth getting a professional to take a look.
Don’t wait for a leak to tell you something’s wrong! Steel Rudder Roofing offers free chimney flashing inspections for homeowners, landlords, and businesses throughout Jacksonville and Northeast Florida. We’ll assess your flashing, identify any issues, and recommend the best solution for your roof.
