Sometimes, It’s The Small Things That Make
A Superior Austin-Area Roof Replacement
At Willi Roofing, A Simple Product Upgrade
Leads To Improved Roof Leak Protection
Every local homeowner wants a great experience during Austin-area roof replacement. There are obvious factors that make such an experience possible. But the little things also matter.
That’s certainly the case with a little-known roofing component called pipe flashing.
This component is crucial for preventing roof leaks. However, almost all flashing options available today can fail over time.
At Willi Roofing Services, we’ve raised the bar. How?
By using all-steel pipe flashing from roofing industry leader GAF. This flashing maintains rock-solid integrity even under long-term use. In this way, it adds a layer of vital roof protection you might otherwise miss.
Pipe Flashing’s Role In Roof Installations
Take a look at the typical residential roof in the Austin area, and you’ll see pipes protruding up through the surface. Depending on the home, these may include:
- Heating system exhaust pipes
- Appliance exhaust pipes
- Bathroom vent pipes
- Plumbing vent pipes
- Dryer vent pipes
All of these exit points have one thing in common. Namely, they disrupt the integrity of your roofing materials. And by doing so, they create a potential source of roof leaks.
Pipe flashing’s job is to stop these leaks from occurring.
It sits around the base of any given pipe and forms a barrier against water penetration. As long as this barrier holds, your home is safe from this common leak source.
Flashing Options For Roof Replacement
New pipe flashing must be installed as part of a roof replacement. However, not all flashing is the same. What’s more, not all roofing contractors choose the same products for this critical job.
What are the available options? Leak solutions that have been developed over the last few decades include:
- Flashing with a metal base and a neoprene gasket
- A similar product made from tougher materials
- Pipe sleeves made from plastic and rubber
- Pipe flashing made from pliable lead
At the time of their introduction, each of these options was class-leading. But they’re not today. For various reasons, they can fail before the rest of your roof does. And if this happens, they add a repair expense you could certainly do without.
That’s why Willi Roofing provides you with an upgraded flashing option.
