Ensure a Leak-Free Roof with Wakaflex Roof Flashing

Are you planning a roofing project? Avoid these common roof flashing mistakes to ensure your roof remains leak-free and protected:

Improper Installation: Incorrect installation of roof flashing can lead to leaks and water damage. Always follow manufacturer guidelines, or better yet, hire a professional installer.

Using Incorrect Materials: Using the wrong type of flashing material can result in premature failure. Choose high-quality materials like Wakaflex for durable and long-lasting protection.

Neglecting Maintenance: Over time, flashing can deteriorate due to exposure to the elements. Regular maintenance and inspections can help identify and address issues before they become major problems.

Ignoring Roof Pitch: Roof flashing must be installed according to the roof pitch to ensure proper water runoff. Ignoring this factor can lead to water pooling and leaks.

Improper Sealing: Proper sealing of flashing joints is crucial to prevent water infiltration. Use a high-quality sealant and ensure all joints are properly sealed.
