Lehi homes built before the 1990s in the Main Street District and Jordan Willows often have masonry chimneys with original lead or galvanized flashing that has cracked from decades of expansion and contraction. Hot summer days push roof temperatures above 140 degrees while winter nights drop below freezing, loosening step flashing and allowing meltwater to enter attics. We replace failed sections with copper or painted aluminum that matches existing roof slopes and ridge lines common on single-story ranch homes in North Lehi.
Access on homes near the Utah State Developmental Center or Lehi Cemetery frequently requires working around mature trees and narrow side yards that limit ladder placement. We remove old counter flashing without disturbing brick mortar, then install new pieces bedded in high-temperature sealant rated for Utah's UV exposure. Edge cases include chimneys that intersect valley metal on homes in The Preserve where runoff concentrates during monsoon storms.
Code requirements in Lehi call for flashing to extend at least six inches up the chimney and four inches onto the roof deck. We check for proper cricket installation on wider chimneys that shed snow load poorly in South Lehi subdivisions. Homeowners in American Fork and Draper often discover the same issues on similar age stock, so we carry matching materials to finish jobs in one visit.
Technician insight
In Lehi the thing that catches most people out with Chimney Flashing Repair is the rapid temperature swing between 100-degree August days and single-digit January nights. Homes in Jordan Willows and around Lehi City Hall sit on flat lots with little drainage, so meltwater sits against the chimney base longer than in drier parts of Eagle Mountain.
South Lehi Masonry Chimney Leak
A homeowner in South Lehi noticed water stains near the fireplace after a January thaw. We found cracked lead flashing on the south side of the chimney where afternoon sun had expanded the metal. We replaced the step and counter flashing with copper, added a small cricket, and the leaks stopped through the next winter.
