Cutting the roof opening for a new chimney flue

Adam Chimney Sweep cuts and squares a clean roof opening for a new residential chimney pipe in Denver.

Cutting the roof opening for a new chimney flue

Every chimney pipe that goes through a roof starts with a clean, square opening. In this clip our crew marks and cuts the roof deck for a new flue, keeping the cut tight to the pipe so the flashing can seal and water stays out. Rushing this one step is where most leaky roof penetrations begin, so we take the time to get it right.
