Claim SpotThe joint where the chimney meets the roof is the most common leak point on Helotes homes. Chimney Operations replaces failed step and counter-flashing properly — cut into the mortar joint and sealed, not caulked over. That matters most with steep, high roofs that make chimney access a rope-and-ladder job.

Flashing is where Helotes chimneys leak most, and locally that means steep, high roofs that make chimney access a rope-and-ladder job. Add in hillside wind exposure that drives rain straight into the flashing line, and any gap at the roof line turns into an interior stain. In 1990s and 2000s two-story homes on the hillsides off Bandera Road we routinely find flashing pulled loose at the roof line on the tall two-story stacks Helotes is full of, so we cut new counter-flashing into the mortar joint instead of relying on a bead of sealant.
Most flashing leaks we repair in Helotes were never installed correctly. Surface-applied counter-flashing held on with caulk lasts a few Texas summers before the sealant cracks and shrinks away from the brick.
Heat cycling does the rest. Metal expands and contracts every day across a Bexar County summer, working the fasteners loose until water runs behind the flashing and down into the ceiling below.

Yes. Between steep, high roofs that make chimney access a rope-and-ladder job, plus hillside wind exposure that drives rain straight into the flashing line, the joint between chimney and roof takes the most abuse of anywhere on the house. We find flashing pulled loose at the roof line on the tall two-story stacks Helotes is full of regularly across Old Town Helotes, Sonoma Ranch, Iron Horse Canyon and Bandera Road.
