Flashing & Vent Repair
Stop leaks before they start. Expert repair of chimney flashing, skylight boots, and roof vents to keep water out of your home.
What is Flashing & Vent Repair?
Seal Weak Spots Before Water Gets Inside
Flashing is the metal trim that seals gaps where your roof meets chimneys, skylights, vents, and other penetrations. When flashing cracks, rusts, or pulls away from the roof, water finds its way inside during heavy rain or wind-driven storms. Pipe boots and vent seals fail in the same way, leaving openings for water to enter your attic and walls.
Most roof leaks do not start with bad shingles—they start with failed flashing and vents. Repairing these problem areas early prevents expensive interior damage, mold growth, and structural rot that can spread throughout your home.
Roofing of Virginia Beach inspects, repairs, and replaces flashing and vents to stop active leaks and prevent future water intrusion around these vulnerable roof penetrations.
Common Flashing Problems
- Cracked or rusted flashing around chimneys and vents
- Separated flashing that has pulled away from the roof edge
- Broken or cracked pipe boots around vent stacks
- Deteriorated sealant that no longer waterproofs joints
- Skylight flashing failure causing water to pool or leak

Common Questions
Flashing & Vent Repair FAQs
How do I know if my flashing is failing?
Common signs include water stains on ceilings or walls near chimneys or vents, damp attic insulation, peeling paint around roof edges, visible rust or cracks in metal flashing, or water dripping inside during or after rain. If you notice any of these, schedule an inspection right away.
Can flashing be repaired or does it need replacement?
It depends on the damage. Small cracks or failed sealant can often be repaired with resealing or patching. However, severely rusted, corroded, or bent flashing typically needs full replacement to ensure a long-term watertight seal. We will recommend the best option based on what we find.
How long does a flashing repair take?
Most flashing repairs or replacements can be completed in a few hours to a full day, depending on how many areas need work and the complexity of the repair. We will give you a time estimate before work begins.
What materials do you use for flashing?
We use high-quality metal flashing (aluminum, galvanized steel, or copper), premium sealants, and modern pipe boots that are designed to handle Virginia Beach's coastal weather. All materials meet or exceed manufacturer and code standards for durability and water resistance.
Is flashing repair covered by homeowners insurance?
If flashing damage is caused by a covered peril such as a storm or wind event, your insurance may cover repair or replacement. We can provide photos and a written report to support your claim. Coverage depends on your specific policy, so check with your insurer for details.
