The point at which the chimney penetrates the roof is basically a big hole in the roof. No matter what type of chimney it is or what the material is that covers its exterior, the penetration should be sealed with flashing. If it’s left in place long enough, metal flashing eventually corrodes and leaks. If it’s installed incorrectly, it may start leaking immediately.
