Common Areas Around Your Roof That Need Lead Flashing

Lead flashing shows up at the same handful of places on most roofs — here's where, and why those spots specifically need it.

Chimney stacks

Where a chimney passes through the roof, flashing seals the gap between two entirely different structures that would otherwise let water straight through.

Valleys

Where two roof slopes meet, lead valley linings handle the concentrated water flow that runs down them, especially during heavy rain.

Wall abutments

Where a roof meets a vertical wall, such as an extension meeting the main house, flashing seals the junction against water running down the wall face.

Dormer windows

Dormers create multiple small roof junctions that all need careful flashing to stay weathertight, making them a common source of leaks when done poorly.

Our leadwork team handles all of these junctions to a proper standard.
