Pasco Premium Roofing provides professional chimney flashing in Pasco, WA for residential and commercial properties across the Tri-Cities and the Columbia Basin. Chimneys are the most common leak source on a house in a climate that barely leaks, and the reason is that a chimney is masonry standing in an environment the city sheet describes as severe for weathering, with an air freezing index of 808 to work on the mortar.
That combination attacks the stack itself before it attacks the flashing. What we find is spalled brick faces on the weather side, mortar joints raked out by freeze cycling, a cracked or missing crown, and a chase cover that has ponded, rusted and let water down the outside of the flue. Reflashing a chimney whose crown has failed is repairing the wrong end, and we will not quote it that way.
Where flashing is the problem, the fix is two-piece and mechanical. Step flashing woven into the courses, a separate counterflashing let into a sawn joint in the masonry and folded down over the steps, and lead wedges to hold it rather than a bead of sealant to hope with. Sealant belongs at the top edge of a counterflashing as a secondary measure and belongs nowhere else in the assembly.
Any stack measuring much over thirty inches on the upslope face gets a framed saddle built behind it. That is the detail most often left out on Pasco houses, and it matters for an unexpected reason: water is not the point of it. A flat back pan collects wind-carried soil against the masonry, that pack stays damp longer than anything on the roof, and freeze cycling then goes to work on the joint underneath. A saddle sheds both.
Now the recommendation that surprises people. A great many chimneys in this town serve nothing. The appliance was replaced years ago and vented elsewhere, and the stack is a decorative masonry mast collecting maintenance. If yours is genuinely abandoned, the cheapest permanent answer is demolition down past the sheathing, framing and decking across the hole, then covering it with everything else.
That removes the crown, the cover, the flashing, the cricket and every future repair from the building in one operation, and it typically costs less than a proper rebuild and reflash. We raise it every time it applies, and a fair number of our customers take it, because a chimney nobody uses is a bill nobody needed.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — a silt line read off the back wall of a gutter trough, intake screen mesh coarse enough to pass Columbia Plateau dust, sealant specified by its published ASTM C920 movement class, SBS polymer-modified mats that stay flexible at an eleven-degree morning, corner and perimeter fastening zones drawn for Exposure C open ground, a self-adhered eave membrane bought where the code table requires none — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Pasco and nearby communities including Kennewick, Richland, West Richland, Burbank.

Materials, equipment and how we do chimney flashing
The difference between chimney flashing that lasts and chimney flashing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with a silt line read off the back wall of a gutter trough, intake screen mesh coarse enough to pass Columbia Plateau dust, sealant specified by its published ASTM C920 movement class, SBS polymer-modified mats that stay flexible at an eleven-degree morning, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Pasco job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the Tri-Cities and the Columbia Basin means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Pasco Chooses Pasco Premium Roofing
- ✓We quote from the city's published design table, not a national brochure. Twenty psf of snow, 110 mph ultimate wind at Exposure C, and an air freezing index of 808.
- ✓We measure silt depth in your gutters and drains and write it down in inches, because a packed drain predicts your next interior loss better than shingle age does.
- ✓We refuse the algae-resistant premium and the zinc strips. The organism they suppress needs sustained surface moisture, and this valley has a negative summer moisture load.
- ✓We recommend partial gutter runs on most houses and spend the savings on leaders, because here the trough is protecting collapsible silt backfill rather than the roof.
