What Causes Flashing To Rust
Uncoated or damaged-coating steel flashing can corrode over time, especially with regular moisture exposure — a normal roof condition, accelerated by coastal salt air.
Materials That Resist Rust Better
Aluminum and properly coated galvanized or Galvalume steel flashing resist corrosion significantly better than bare or poorly coated steel.
Signs Flashing Has Started Rusting
Visible rust streaks below flashing, flaking or bubbling paint, and thinning metal are all signs worth having assessed before a leak develops.
Why Coastal Homes Need Extra Attention
Salt air accelerates corrosion on any exposed metal, which is why material choice and regular inspection matter more here than in inland climates.
