Roof Flashing Deterioration RepairA leaking roof calls for an expert in roof flashing deterioration repair. The majority of roof leaks happens in locations where the plane of your roof is interrupted by a wall, a ridge or two roof surfaces intersecting at an angle. Even very simple rooflines have dozens of potential leak sites around chimneys, ridges and valleys. Proper detailing by a certified roof professional around these areas with well-installed and maintained flashing is critical for the prevention of these leaks. Roofers Who Repair FlashingJasper Contractors are expert roofers who repair flashing. The purpose of roof flashing is to direct the flow of water that leaks into intersections of your roof down and away from the interior of the structure to the top side of your roofing material. Flashing is designed to work in conjunction with other roofing materials to keep your roof leak-free. If working properly, roof flashings will fit so as to prevent water from making contact with any wood sheathing on your roof and thus prevent moss & algae from getting a foothold. The location and function of roof flashing determines the type flashing your roof needs. • Valley flashing - Valley flashing, which is shaped in a “V” or “W” configuration, is used to protect valleys where two roof planes come together. • Step flashing - Step flashing, constructed to step up the wall of a dormer or chimney, is used to protect joints between a roof’s deck and its dormers or chimneys. • Vent pipe flashing - Vent pipe, cylindrical in shape, is used over pipes and flues that extend beyond the roofline to guide water away from these areas. • Drip edges - Drip edges are strips of flashing that run along rakes and eaves to stop water from seeping under the finished roof edges.
