This are only visible when the roof its checked closely.

Wind had its way with this chimney flashing

This flashing cap was re-fastened and a premium quality sealant was used to permanently seal.
Until replacement with anew galvanized chimney cap
Notice the water on top,this chimney cap even though its galvanized,will eventually rust.
Preventative maintenance (a coat of paint) at least once a year will pay for itself.

The attic was inspected and the water stain stemmed from around a bathroom soil stack pvc pipe
