Roof Jargon: Flashing!
Those small metal pieces on your roof do a surprisingly big job. In our latest Roof Jargon episode, Chris from Rescue My Roof breaks down one of the most important and often misunderstood parts of a roofing system: flashing. From step flashing along walls to chimney flashing and pipe boots, these components are what keep water from sneaking into the most vulnerable areas of your roof.
We also answer common homeowner questions like when flashing should be replaced during a roof replacement, what a retrofit boot actually is (no, you can’t wear it), and why improperly installed flashing is one of the leading causes of roof leaks.
If you’ve ever felt like roofing conversations move a little too fast, this video slows things down and explains everything in clear, simple terms so you can better understand how your home is protected.
