Greenville SC Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in Greenville, SC for residential and commercial properties across Greenville County and the Blue Ridge escarpment. Half the chimney leaks we are called to in this county are not flashing leaks at all. The water is coming through the masonry itself, and replacing perfectly good metal will not stop a single drop of it.
Brick is a sponge with a schedule. It takes up water through the face and through open mortar joints, holds it, and gives it back slowly, which is fine until the temperature crosses freezing on roughly sixty nights a year and comes back above it every afternoon. That cycle pops the face off brick, opens joints wider each season, and turns a chimney into a vertical drain that empties inside your wall.
So the diagnosis comes before the repair. We isolate the stack with a hose test, wetting the flashing line alone first and then the masonry above it, and watch inside. If the interior stays dry until the brick gets wet, the answer is repointing, a crown and a breathable water repellent, and we say so even though metal work is the easier sale. The test takes twenty minutes and settles the argument.
The crown is the piece nobody looks at. A thin skim of mortar troweled level with the brick, which is what most Upstate chimneys have, cracks and then feeds water straight into the top of the stack. We cast a proper crown in reinforced mortar with a slope off the flue and an overhang past the brick face with a drip cut underneath, so water leaves the stack instead of running back down it.
Where flashing is genuinely the problem, the fix is metal on metal and it is not negotiable. Base and step pieces woven course by course, counterflashing set into the joint, and a saddle behind any stack wide enough to dam water and litter on the uphill side. Sealant belongs at the very top of that assembly as a detail, never as the assembly. It is a five-year detail on a fifty-year stack.
If a company quotes you a chimney leak repair without wetting anything, be careful. On a shaded stack that never dries out, the flashing is often the innocent party. We run the test in front of you, and when the work belongs to a mason and not to a roofer we will say that out loud, because it is a different trade and pretending otherwise costs you twice over.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — full-deck self-adhered underlayment specified above the eleven-hundred-foot line, attic-side moisture grids read twice across a drying interval, open twenty-six gauge valley metal with a hemmed edge, laminated sealant strips hand-warmed on shaded winter installs, a cast masonry crown with a drip kerf past the brick face, gutter outlets counted against the roof area each one drains — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Greenville and nearby communities including Caesars Head, Slater-Marietta, Tigerville, The Cliffs Valley.

Materials, equipment and how we do chimney flashing
The difference between chimney flashing that lasts and chimney flashing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with full-deck self-adhered underlayment specified above the eleven-hundred-foot line, attic-side moisture grids read twice across a drying interval, open twenty-six gauge valley metal with a hemmed edge, laminated sealant strips hand-warmed on shaded winter installs, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Greenville job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Greenville County and the Blue Ridge escarpment means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Greenville Chooses Greenville SC Roof Pros
- ✓We write two specifications for this county, not one, because the annual rainfall between Fountain Inn and Caesars Head is not remotely the same number.
- ✓Every job starts with moisture readings taken from inside the attic, on a set grid, so a slowly wetting deck is found before it gets covered up.
- ✓Deck replacement is priced per sheet on the proposal instead of hidden in an allowance you discover halfway through the tear-off.
- ✓We refuse three things by policy: layovers over old shingles, coatings sold as a replacement, and rolled asphalt put back on a low-slope porch.
The standards behind chimney flashing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The chimney flashing work we do in Greenville follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
