- Plumb - This image is a detailed diagram illustrating various components and flashing techniques used in roof construction, primarily focusing on how to prevent water penetration around common roof features. The roof is covered with grey shingles, and the sky is blue. Here's a breakdown of the labeled elements and their functions: 1. Main Roof Features & Layers: * Roofing Felt: This is a layer of material (often asphalt-saturated felt or synthetic underlayment) installed directly on the roof deck, under the shingles. It provides a secondary barrier against water penetration, protecting the roof deck from leaks, especially if shingles are damaged. * Shingle Line: This refers to the visible edge of the roof shingles, which are the primary roofing material in this diagram. 2. Chimney Flashing (Top Left): * Chimney: A brick structure penetrating the roof. * Base Flashing: A piece of flashing installed at the base of the chimney, on the downhill side. It sits over the shingles and directs water flowing down the chimney and roof *over* the shingles below it. * Step Flashing Let into Mortar: Along the sides of the chimney, individual L-shaped pieces of flashing are installed, interwoven (opens in a new tab) · 5%
- 🏠🔩 ROOF EDGE FLASHING – EAVE 🧱📐 ROOF LAYER COMPONENTS A properly detailed roof edge includes shingles (two layers), felt paper placed over flashing, wooden sheathing, rafters, fascia trim, and metal flashing (drip edge) to guide water safely away. 🛡️💧 METAL FLASHING (DRIP EDGE) Drip edge flashing is installed at the roof eave to direct rainwater away from the fascia board and into the gutter system, preventing moisture penetration. ⬇️🌧️ WATER DRIPS AWAY FROM TRIM With correct drip edge installation, water flows downward and outward, protecting wooden elements from decay and structural damage. ❌🚫 WITHOUT DRIP EDGE If drip edge flashing is missing, water can seep into the roof framing and wet the fascia, leading to long-term deterioration. 🪵💦 WATER DAMAGE (ROT RISK) Continuous moisture exposure causes wood rot, mold growth, and weakening of rafters and sheathing. ✅📋 KEY BENEFITS OF DRIP EDGE FLASHING • Prevents water damage and rot to fascia and sheathing. • Directs water into gutters for proper drainage. • Protects roof edge from ice dam formation. • Extends the lifespan of the roofing system. 👷♂️🔍 INSTALLATION TIP (opens in a new tab) · 5%
