Its much cheaper to throw your kid’s pool up there to simply catch all the leaking water. Then siphon the pool once in a while…
Thanks Kevin.
Deficiency: Chimney flashing and masonry and clay brick.
SUSPECT: No step, lead or apron flashing.
The counter flashing has been caulked on all metal in contact with the roof deck shingles.
Deficient: 1.) Reverse lapping on the metal flashed corners of the chimney.
All metal laps should face down steam of water flow.
2.) The metal lapping is open and exposed to water and weather influtration.
Water running down the roof deck above the chimney line will be focused into the open laps at the chimneys head face ( what appears to be the lead and side counter flashing openings.)
3.) a. Horizontally exposed fasteners heads are exposed.
b. and installed in the masonry bedding.
The fasteners in the roof decking and shingles will loosen over time.
The head will rise above it flush setting and eventually rise above there entry point.(** I know, no reporting on the future.** ) Exposing the opening that is left from the penitration causing water infiltration.
4.) Several masonry bedding and head joints are missing throughout the chimney.
5.) Spalling on several of the two tone red, brown rustic styled standard clay brick. ( Only guessng size.****)
RECOMMEND. A licensed roofer and mason and tin smith correct all the deficiencies noted on the chimney. Or Mason and roofer with many years experience in closing metal flashing exacting tin smith techniques for the metal lapping and inset counter flashing is so desired.
LIMITATIONS. : Unable to view the full chimney and crown.
Possible cost: between $2500.00 to $6 thouand dollars.
Depends upon the work needed.

The flashing is a defective build.
Everything is wrong in my opinion.
1.) Metal corner are not locked.
I will have patterns soon for InterNACHI members.
2.) Exposed fasteners in the metal flashing to the deck with no caulk.
Should be no fasteners in the flashing 45% angle.
As soon as you see that suspect poor workmanship.
3.) Backwards application of chimney flashing.
All flods or lapping should be facing down stream.
4.) open corners. Worse the are open upstream.
They will catch copious amounts of water to enter the opening and allow weather infiltration.
5.) Fasteners in the masonry bedding.
No drilled holes to accept plugs, shields or even tapcrons or concrete anchorage screws in the brick-face.
MASONRY Deficiency.
6.) Head and bedding joints are exposed in several areas.
7.) Spalling.
Degrading in the brick face 2 tone, rustic standard size.
I can go on.
Hope you get the point.

I will have sheet metal patterns of roofing flashing, copping, soon.
Also for duct venting and most sheet metal application. Residential and commercial or InterNACHI members.
