Chimney flashings - the most common place for leaks and how to secure them

The eaves are an element that break the continuity of the roof covering. Any such area is a potential source of leakage, which is why it requires special attention.

Why do coaxial cables leak?

• Errors during the assembly of sheet metal cladding (too shallow notches in the wall, no fastener).
• The aging of sealing materials – tapes and silicones lose their elasticity.
• Cracking of the mortar around the chimney – frost and heat cause microcracks.

How to properly secure intercom connections?

• Proper sheet metal processing – with min. 15 cm gap and a notch in the wall.
• High-quality chimney tapes – resistant to UV and temperature.
• Sealing of the upper edge – silicone sealant or special compounds.
• Inspection of the chimney condition – repairing cracks, sealing the joints again.
