Lancaster roof flashing spots that need attention

Many leaks we find come from the same handful of flashing details.

Flashing is meant to guide water away from joints and transitions, but when it fails, leaks are not far behind.

Where roofs meet walls

Step flashing along second-story walls or chimneys can crack, rust or get buried in sealant over time.

Pipes and vents

Plumbing vent boots and other pipe flashings dry out and crack in our climate, letting water travel down the pipe.

Older skylights

Older skylight curbs and flashings sometimes do not match today’s standards, especially if the roof has been re-done around them.
