Lane Roofing Provides Solutions for Flashing Failures in Commercial Roofs

WILMINGTON, DE, UNITED STATES, January 30, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Commercial roofing systems are designed to withstand considerable wear, but one critical component frequently prone to failure is flashing. Lane Roofing, a trusted team of commercial roofers in Wilmington, DE, is shedding light on the causes, signs, and solutions for flashing failures to help businesses safeguard their properties from costly damage.

Roof flashing is a thin, durable material, often metal, installed around vulnerable roof areas such as chimneys, vents, skylights, and edges. Its primary function is to direct water away from these points, preventing leaks and water infiltration. For commercial properties, flashing is essential for maintaining the overall watertightness of large and complex roofing systems.

Several factors contribute to the failure of roof flashing in commercial properties, including improper installation, material degradation, roof movement, ponding water, storm damage, and neglect. Flashing failures can compromise a roof's integrity, leading to significant issues such as water damage and mold growth.

Regular inspections and maintenance of flashing are critical in ensuring its longevity and effectiveness. Business owners should remain vigilant for signs of flashing failure, including water stains on ceilings or walls, visible rust or corrosion on flashing, loose or missing materials, mold growth around roof edges, and cracked sealant.

Lane Roofing emphasizes the importance of prompt action when dealing with flashing failures. First, experienced contractors thoroughly evaluate the roof to pinpoint the extent of flashing damage and any contributing factors. Next, loose or damaged flashing can often be repaired with resealing or re-securing techniques, while severely degraded materials may require replacement.

If ponding water or excessive roof movement contributed to flashing failure, solutions such as improved drainage systems or flexible materials may be necessary. Finally, properly installed flashing is critical to long-term performance. Lane Roofing’s expertise ensures flashing systems are securely and correctly applied.
