When homeowners think about their roofs, they usually do not think about specific materials on the roof and the importance of the material. One extremely important piece of roofing material that all homeowners should understand is roof flashing and why it is important.
What is Roof Flashing?
Flashing is a thin layer of waterproof material. It is designed with one main purpose in mind, which is to keep water from getting into places it does not belong. Flashing is meant to carry the water over certain crevices so it does not get into unwanted areas.
Why is Proper Flashing Installation Important?
It is extremely important to ensure that flashing is properly installed. Flashing must be installed in a way so seams do not face uphill.
It is important to not substitute caulk for flashing. Caulk is possibly okay for extremely small gaps, but nothing more than that. It is also important to consider the flashing work a roofing company does before considering a roofing company.
