What Step Flashing Does
Step flashing is installed in overlapping pieces along a roof-to-wall intersection (like a chimney or dormer side), directing water down and away from the wall at each course of roofing.
Common Signs Of Damage
Rust staining on the wall below, visible gaps between flashing pieces, or loose flashing that has pulled away from the wall are all signs worth having checked.
Why It's Easy To Miss
Step flashing sits along a vertical wall intersection rather than the main roof plane, which makes it easy to overlook during a casual glance at the roof.
Why It Deserves A Close Look
Damaged step flashing is a common source of hidden interior wall leaks that can go unnoticed for a long time — worth including specifically in any roof inspection.
