Roof flashing is a form of weatherproofing that shields protruding objects from a roof (such as chimneys and vents) against water. Metal is the most commonly used roof flashing material, yet recently, rubber and other waterproof synthetics have become very popular. It is crucial that your roof flashing system both capture and discharge moisture and water back to the drainage system, in order to avoid water penetration into your home/office. At Roof 101, we provide roof flashing repair and installation for all kinds of roofs.
