Where a tiled roof meets a wall or another structure, water can easily slip in behind the tiles if the flashing is worn out. Soaker flashing creates a shield that guides water away from the joint so it drains properly. If the flashing is damaged, cracked or missing sections, leaks can appear inside the home. We replace and install soaker flashing that meets current BCP roof plumbing requirements and suits both new and older roofs.
Soaker flashing sits under the edge of roof tiles and runs up behind a wall or vertical surface. When it is installed properly, it directs water down the tiles instead of letting it pool behind them. Over time flashing can rust, warp or pull away from the wall, especially on older homes. We inspect the area, check for movement and look for signs of water tracking behind the tiles. If the flashing is no longer doing its job, we recommend the best way to repair or replace it.
Damaged or outdated flashing can cause slow leaks that go unnoticed until stains appear inside the house. We carefully lift the tiles, remove the old metal and check the cavity for any signs of water ingress. New soaker flashing is then cut and fitted to suit the roof and wall profile. Each piece is secured so the water runs exactly where it should. Once the tiles are put back in place, we check the area again to make sure everything sits correctly and drains the right way.
When you add a new room or extend your roofline, fresh flashing is usually needed to make sure the new work ties in properly. We match the flashing to your roof style and check the falls and overlaps so water can’t track into the wall cavity. Once the new flashing is installed, we give the entire area a final look over to confirm that the roof and wall junction is fully sealed and ready for weather.
