Leakage through a lead flashing? Take action!

Don't let worn lead flashing turn your dream home into a nightmare of leaks and mold. Discover why regular inspections of this critical component are essential to maintaining the integrity of your property and preventing costly water damage.

A lead flashing is a strip of lead used to create a watertight connection between various parts of a building, such as a dormer window, roof, or chimney. The lead prevents rainwater from seeping into the wall. If the lead flashing of your house or building is worn, broken, or bent, it can cause a leak. A leak in the lead flashing is very annoying and can cause significant damage. During a building inspection , we always inspect the condition of the lead flashing around the house.

Consequences of a leak in your lead flashing

If the lead flashing isn't properly secured to the wall, water won't drain properly and will enter between or within the wall. Leaking water in the walls can lead to mold in your home. You'll notice damp patches appearing on walls around your roof or balcony. These are annoying and not easy to repair. During a building inspection, we always perform various moisture measurements to detect potential leaks.
