Brick chimney flashing into grout. • Folks, we are located in Oakland, CA. • Howdy Folks, all the basic tools we use and recommend are on Amazon's website below. • https://www.stuccoplastering.com/tools/ • Live long and plaster hats, shirts, and other cool stuff are here: https://www.livelongandplaster.com/ • Kirk Giordano Plastering Inc. • For immediate bids, send pictures to Jay or myself at our sites below. • https://www.StuccoPlastering.com/ Kirk’s website. • https://www.GiordanoPlastering.com/ Jason’s Website. • Those who might say, why didn’t I build a whole new cricket wall or something other, like Leanard McCoy, would say to Captain Kirk in StarTrek, I’m a plasterer, not a roofer. • Since the owner was painting all the new and existing flashing, the caulking color didn’t matter. • We used Sikaflex one a, which is an adhesive sealant. This caulking does come in a variety of colors. • FYI, I’m a stucco contractor, not a roofer. • As I was working on some stucco repairs, the owner asked me if I knew how to install metal flashing into the grout, I did, and so Jason and I did it. • I personally prefer stucco work to this tedious but necessary stuff. • We first removed the existing caulking set against the bricks and instead used a skill saw with a diamond blade to cut a groove into the grout 3/4 quarter of an inch, after which we inserted the new L flashing in this cut groove or grout line. • So my new flashing is not set against the brick but Instead inserted into the grout a half-inch, then caulked. • It’s a better system, but I don’t believe I explained this well, judging from some comments. • Live and learn; after hundreds more videos, I am better at explaining the details. • We show you how to properly counter-flash a chimney area. Now, the issue with this chimney wasn’t that it currently leaked. • The previous guys did an okay job that would have probably lasted 10 to 15 years. • However, the owner requested the flashing be inserted, which meant cutting a line in the grout. • He was not interested in building a new cricket, sometimes called a saddle roof, just adding some longevity to the flashing and counter flashing. • The flashing they used was only set against the bricks and caulked. Therefore, it was not inserted into the system. The flashing laid against a brick surface and caulked will not last long. • Instead, the metal flange should be inserted at least ½ to ¾ inch into the grout or bricks. • Then sealed with polyurethane caulking, like Siakflex 1 A caulking we used, • Which is construction sealant and adhesives. • However, folks are welcome to do as they choose. It’s definitely technical stuff. • Jason and I think you will enjoy and learn much about roofing flashing or saddles in the video below. And protect your number 1 investment. • Stucco roof-to-wall flashing, metal s... Stucco wall to roof flashing, metal saddles.
