Common flashing trouble spots

Chimneys, pipe boots, step flashing, valleys, and roof-to-wall connections should be checked carefully when a leak appears after rain.

Repair depends on the surrounding roof

Sometimes the flashing itself can be repaired. Other times shingles, sealants, underlayment, or nearby decking also need attention.

What homeowners can share

Tell the contractor where the leak shows inside, whether it happens in wind-driven rain, and if the area is near a chimney, wall, vent, or skylight.
