What is a Chimney Flashing?
Chimney flashing is a water-resistant barrier around the base of the chimney. The flashing prevents water from seeping into the chimney and causing damage.
Chimney flashing is typically made of metal, such as copper or aluminum. It is installed in sections around the base of the chimney. The sections are then sealed together to create a watertight barrier.
