Puyallup, Pierce County
Chimney flashing repair in Puyallup costs $330 to $1,500. A reseal of flashing that is still sound sits near the low end; replacing step and counter flashing on all four sides, or building a cricket behind a wide stack, moves it toward the top. Flashing is the metal bridging chimney and roof, and when it fails, water tends to show up on a ceiling some distance from the actual opening.

On older Puyallup homes, flashing has often been patched several times with roofing cement that has since cracked. On newer homes the flashing may be original and simply worn, or disturbed by a reroof that did not treat the chimney as its own job. In either case the first question is whether the leak is really at the flashing or coming through the brick above it.
Every chimney flashing repair we do in Puyallup includes:

Book nowWide chimneys need extra care. Under Washington's residential code, a stack measuring more than 30 inches across, parallel to the ridge, needs a cricket, a small peaked diversion on its uphill side, unless the chimney rises right at the ridge line. Without one, water and debris pile up against the back of the stack and work under the flashing. Many older chimneys here were built without a cricket, and adding one is often the lasting fix.
The WRCC summary for the Puyallup valley station shows close to 40 inches of precipitation a year, peaking in December at more than six inches, with a little over six inches of snow in an average winter.
Wind adds to it. WeatherSpark counts a windier season of about six months in Puyallup, from mid-October to about April 20, and wind-driven rain is what finds a gap on one side of the flashing. Snow is the part people forget. When it melts against the back of a chimney and refreezes overnight, which happens often on a valley floor that sees about 69 freezing nights a year, the ice pushes under old sealant and lifts the metal. A properly lapped flashing, plus a cricket wherever code requires one, keeps that water moving down the roof.
We check from the attic and the roof to confirm the water enters at the flashing and not through the brick or crown.
Old caulk, cement patches and damaged metal are taken off so the new flashing sits on a clean base.
Step flashing gets laced into the shingles, counter flashing goes into cut joints, and a cricket is added if needed.
We check the finished work and send photos showing each side of the chimney.

Yes. Flashing is replaced at the chimney only, and the surrounding shingles are lifted and reset around it.
Wind-driven rain from one direction can reach a gap that normal rain misses. That usually points to a specific side of the flashing.
