Common Roof Flashing Mistakes
The flashing is one of the most important components of the roofing system. It is a strip of metal installed over breaks on the roof plane. It can be found along the valleys, joints and wherever the roof meets a protrusion, such as a chimney or a dormer. Its primary role is to protect these areas from leaks. Improper installation and lack of maintenance, however, can put the whole structure at risk.
