West Jordan Roof Pros provides professional chimney flashing in West Jordan, UT for residential and commercial properties across the Salt Lake Valley. Chimneys leak more than any other penetration on a valley roof, and a good share of the time the flashing is fine. Brick and mortar absorb water, and a stack that stays saturated for weeks passes moisture through itself into the chase and out at a ceiling below.
Which is why we look at the masonry before quoting metal. A cracked crown admits water at the top of the stack. An open mortar joint or a spalled face lets it into the wall. A missing rain cap lets it straight down the flue. No flashing detail ever devised corrects any one of those three conditions. We wet-test the stack from a ladder where the evidence points that way.
When the masonry is the problem, the repair is a cast crown with an overhang and a drip edge, repointing where joints have opened, a cap over the flue, and a breathable siloxane repellent on the face. Breathable is the operative word. A film-forming sealer traps water inside brick that spends the winter wet and spalls it faster. Repellent goes on after the joints are sound, never before.
Where the flashing genuinely is at fault, it is usually a surface-mounted apron stuck down with sealant, and sealant gives you a few winters here, not the twenty-five years the covering is meant to last. Properly built it is two separate pieces: step flashing woven one per course up each side, and counterflashing let into a mortar joint over the top of it.
A wide stack also needs a cricket behind it. The residential code Utah adopts requires one where a chimney more than thirty inches wide meets the roof, and it gets skipped constantly. On the valley floor a back-pan with a bead of sealant across it dams snowmelt for weeks, which is a slower and far more thorough leak than rain. A cricket is framed, sheathed and flashed like a small roof of its own.
Plenty of valley houses have a chimney nobody has used since the furnace was replaced. If yours is decommissioned, cutting it back to the roof plane and decking over the hole ends the leak, the maintenance and the annual inspection permanently, and it often costs less than a crown, a cap and a reflash. We will price both. Removal also takes a heavy, rigid element out of the plane.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — vapor-permeable synthetic underlayment, self-adhered eave and valley membrane, ring-shank sheathing nails at six inches on center, copper-bearing algae-resistant granules, polymer-modified asphalt shingle mat, 24-gauge standing-seam steel over a drainage mat — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve West Jordan and nearby communities including Taylorsville, Murray, Midvale, South Salt Lake.

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 vapor-permeable synthetic underlayment, self-adhered eave and valley membrane, ring-shank sheathing nails at six inches on center, copper-bearing algae-resistant granules, 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 West Jordan 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 Salt Lake Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
