Understanding Lead Flashing: Why It's So Vital for Your Roof
Lead flashing acts as a flexible, waterproof seal, bridging gaps where your roof meets other structures. Think of it as your roof's essential sealant around chimneys, along roof valleys, where extensions join the main building, or around dormer windows. Because lead is naturally malleable and incredibly durable, it's been the go-to material for this critical job for centuries. However, even the toughest materials can fail. Over time, thermal expansion and contraction (the lead heating up and cooling down), general wear and tear, or even poor original installation can cause cracks, splits, or the lead to lift, creating direct pathways for water to enter your home. When this happens, it's not just an inconvenience; it can lead to significant structural damage, timber rot, and costly internal repairs if left unchecked.
