Why flashing leaks show up indoors
Here is what we actually do on an Old Northwood chimney flashing repair. Wind-driven rain and storm uplift work the flashing loose over time. Because the leak travels down the roof deck before it appears, the stain on your ceiling is often feet away from the actual gap — so we trace it back to the source. With the Intracoastal Waterway just east of the district off Flagler Drive so near, wind-driven rain and chloride are the real test for Old Northwood chimneys, and we spec to both. In Old Northwood we work around your schedule and, where access allows, handle much of the job from the exterior to keep the day simple.
- Coordinated with roof condition so the fix lasts

The case for chimney flashing repair on an Old Northwood home
Hurricane-season uplift is what works flashing loose, and because the water tracks down the roof deck before it appears, the damage is usually well underway by the time a ceiling stain shows.
Old Northwood was founded in 1921 and its 1920s Mediterranean Revival and Frame Vernacular homes have roughly century-old masonry chimneys, so deteriorated crowns and mortar joints, combined with the district's nearness to the Intracoastal, call for careful tuckpointing and waterproofing. From Broadway corridor to North Dixie Highway, the Old Northwood homes we work on share a build type — Founded in 1921, Mediterranean Revival and Frame Vernacular homes built in the 1920s alongside later ranch and A-frame houses, with stucco and frame walls, tile roofs and original masonry chimneys — and a chimney flashing repair is scoped to it. We run the same route across Old Northwood and the wider West Palm Beach area, including Pleasant City and Northwood Hills.
