When the winter months are drawing in, you need to consider roof flashing if you haven’t already. The thing is when it comes to roof flashing is that it is basically essential whether you want it to be or not. When the weather begins to turn wet and nasty and you haven’t got roof flashing, you’re going to be desperate to get the job done before any further damage to your home is done. What roof flashing effectively does is waterproof your roof, meaning that no matter how wet and rainy it gets the damp will not seep through your roof and cause your home to start dripping water into your living areas. Commonly roof flashing is done while the roof is being constructed, but in very few cases the roof flashing is not done either because of rogue roofer dramatically cutting corners, or because of the insistence of the home owner who could not afford it or refused to pay for the roof flashing. Skimping out of roof flashing is something you are likely to regret as soon as the dry summer months move on, when the autumn rains tart rolling in you’re going to be dealing with serious damp problems that can devalue your home, wreck the interior, and ruin your possessions if they are not meant to be made wet.
In extreme cases the damp caused by a lack of roof flashing will make you move out due to the smell and the slowly rotting walls that are making your house steadily unsafe. Over time you’re going to find that you wished you’d got the roof flashing done earlier, and eventually you’re going to have to give in and get the roof flashing done regardless of the personal cost. Of course, doing the roof flashing after the damage has been done to your home will not reverse it, you’ll have to fix the damp problem as soon as possible after the roof flashing is done, and in the event of dangerous damp, possible consult a builder in order to rebuild several walls in your home to maintain their structural integrity.
