Roof Flashing: Protecting Valleys, Walls and Penetrations

Water-management details matter most where roofing meets another surface or where an opening passes through the roof.

What flashing does

Flashing helps direct water away from transitions and penetrations such as walls, chimneys, skylights and plumbing vents.

Look for defined scope

A good estimate identifies what flashing is replaced, reused or repaired and how roof penetrations are handled. Ask about any special conditions discovered during tear-off.

Solar attachments

Solar mounting penetrations require appropriate flashing and installation methods for the roof system. Confirm the proposed mounting approach with the project team.
