Roof flashing may be small, but it plays a big role in keeping water out of your home. Over time, weather, rust, or poor installation can compromise its effectiveness, leading to leaks and damage. Home Pro Exteriors, Inc. highlights the key signs your roof flashing might need replacement, helping you catch issues early and keep your home safe and dry.
Over time, roof flashing can deteriorate due to various factors, including weathering, oxidation, and physical damage. Visible signs such as rust on metal flashing, cracks, or breaks are clear indicators that your flashing might need a replacement.
Leakage and Water Damage
One of the most apparent signs that your flashing might be failing is when you notice leakage or water damage, particularly after a rainstorm. If you see water stains on your walls or ceiling, especially after a storm, it could signify that water is making its way through compromised flashing. Home Pro Exteriors, Inc. specializes in diagnosing these issues accurately and providing effective solutions to keep your home protected.
Age of Your Roof
The age of your roof can also be a significant factor in determining whether your flashing needs a replacement. Roofing components generally have a specific lifespan, and as your roof ages, so does the flashing. Make sure to hire a roofer who can thoroughly assess the condition of your roof, including the flashing.
During Roof Inspections
Regular roof inspections are crucial for maintaining the integrity of your roofing system. These inspections can uncover issues with your flashing that might not be immediately evident. Home Pro Exteriors, Inc. offers comprehensive roofing inspections, including drone inspections, allowing for a thorough analysis without the need for precarious ladder maneuvers. Spotting and addressing flashing concerns during these inspections can prevent further, more costly damage.
