What are ‘flashings’ and why do I need them operational?
Flashing is a protective tool used to keep surfaces of your roof watertight where two walls or points join together. Often constructed with a thin metal, flashing will protect your roof and joints from any water infiltration…for a limited time, of course. Unfortunately, due to its thin make-up, flashing can deteriorate or be damaged easily. Gaps form, leaks occur…your roof suffers.
Get it checked by the professionals
If spotted early enough, a small gap in your roof’s flashing can be resealed. If you cross your fingers for ‘just one more winter’ than the gap has time to form a foreboding leak, sometimes requiring repair all the way down to the rafters.
To effectively defend your roof from a mighty Wellington (sideways) downpour, you’ll need to tackle trouble fast and efficiently. The team at Trito are experts at spotting damage and deterioration to your roof; able to determine a potential issue before it has had a chance to cause too much trouble.
During our assessment of your roof, we’ll check for corrosion or damage of any kind, flashing or otherwise, and let you know exactly what your roof needs in order to survive this and many more winters to come.
Sometimes we’ll find that a flashing replacement won’t be enough to deal with the damage. This is the unfortunate case that will occur if your roof has been left to fend for itself for too long without inspection or repair. The condition of one’s roof only worsens with time. The sooner you let the experts get their hands on it, the better!
