How Roof Flashing Protects Your Home

Flashing is a flat piece of tin shaped to fit a certain part of your roof. Roof flashing protects the parts of your home that are prone to water damage. Types of roof flashing include counter, step, base, apron, kick out, valley, and drip edge. These specific types of flashing seal your roof and prevent damage by redirecting water flow. When flashing is damaged, water is able to seep into your home and cause interior damage. Your gutters and siding can also be damaged if the flashing isn’t working properly.
