Abstract
A flashing system is provided for a chimney. The flashing system includes an elongated base flashing which is generally L-shaped within cross section thus having two generally planar legs which intersect each other along a mid-line of the base flashing. One leg of the base flashing is attached to the roof so that the other leg of the base flashing extends upwardly from the roof along one side of the chimney. An elongated and generally planar counter-flasher is then secured to the chimney above the top edge of the base flashing so that the counter-flashing overlaps the other leg of the base flashing. Ceiling caulk is also provided between the counter-flashing and the chimney in order to seal the counter-flashing to the chimney against the elements.
