What You Need to Know About Flashing

Common Issues with Chimney Flashing
As with any part of your roofing system, flashing can become damaged or compromised, putting the stability of your roof in danger. Typical problems that occur are:
Water Leaks
The most common issue with flashing is water leakage, often caused by improper installation, damage, or sealant deterioration.
Rust or Corrosion
Flashing made of metal can rust or corrode over time, especially when exposed to the elements.
Loose or Missing Flashing
Loose or poorly secured flashing can create gaps, allowing water to enter and cause leaks or damage.
Insufficient Sealing
Deteriorating or missing sealant around flashing joints allows water to seep in and cause damage over time.
Damage or Holes
Holes or significant damage can lead to leaks and require immediate attention.
Rusting or Corrosion
Flashing made of metal is prone to rust or corrosion, weakening the roof’s protection.
Loose or Bending Flashing
Flashing that is loose or bent can leave gaps for water to enter, causing leaks.
Missing or Loose Nails
Loose or missing nails can compromise the roof's integrity and cause flashing issues.
Dried Out or Missing Sealant
Sealant that is missing or dried out can allow water to seep into the roof structure.
