Chimney Cricket Installation for Leak Protection on Shingle Roofs

Chimney crickets are crucial for protecting roofs from water damage, especially for chimneys wider than 30 inches. According to the 2012 International Building Code (IBC), which is followed by the City of Chicago and many nearby areas, a cricket must be installed perpendicular to the roof slope to prevent leaks. Anchor Point Roofing ensures compliance with these regulations while offering top-tier chimney cricket installation in Chicago and surrounding municipalities.

Our process includes preparing the plywood assembly and installing a synthetic felt layer to shield it from moisture. We then install new shingles that match your existing roof as closely as possible for a cohesive look. By installing a chimney cricket, you can ensure long-term protection against water damage and extend the life of your roof.
