Roof Flashing Repair

Flat Roof Flashing Repair

A roof is often judged by the beauty of its shingles or the curve of its tiles, but its true success in keeping a home dry lies in the details. Among these details, none are more critical than the flashing. Roof flashing consists of thin pieces of impervious material, typically galvanized steel, aluminum, or copper, installed to prevent water from seeping into joints and interruptions in the roof plane. At Overhead Roofing, we specialize in precision roof flashing repair services that address the root cause of the most common residential leaks.

The Vital Role of Flashing in Your Roofing System

To understand why roof flashing repair is so essential, one must understand how a roof sheds water. Most of a roof is a flat or sloped surface where water can easily run off. However, any place where the roof meets a vertical surface, such as a chimney, a dormer wall, or a vent pipe, creates a “joint.” Without flashing, gravity would pull water directly into the gap between these two structures.

Flashing acts as a bridge. It is tucked under the roofing material and over the vertical surface, creating a watertight seal that directs water back onto the shingles or tiles and toward the gutters. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), properly installed and maintained flashings are among the most important components for wind and water resistance in residential buildings. When this “bridge” rusts, cracks, or pulls away, the entire roof’s performance is compromised.

Our Approach to Roof Flashing Repair

Leak Inspection

We inspect the entire area, removing shingles or tiles to check the underlayment and replace any rotted wood for a solid base.

Custom Fabrication

We use custom-bent metal for a perfect fit, especially for complex chimneys and roof valleys, ensuring maximum protection.

Counter-Flashing Integration

For chimneys, we use counter-flashing, tucking metal into the mortar groove to prevent water from getting behind the flashing.

Sealant Application

We finish with high-quality, flexible sealants that adapt to temperature changes, ensuring long-lasting protection.
