Headwall Flashing: How to Inspect & Evaluate Service Life
Headwall flashing is a metal piece that’s installed where a sloped roof meets a vertical wall, like where a dormer intersects with the roofline down slope. It directs water away from that roof-to-wall transition, preventing it from flowing behind the siding or under the shingles.

Open & Closed Valleys: How to Inspect & Evaluate Service Life
A roof valley is the intersection between two slopes on a roof. They function like highways for water, concentrating water runoff into a narrow path that leads toward the gutters. Because valleys handle concentrated water flow, they are among the roof’s most vulnerable points, especially when improperly installed or maintained.
Edge Vents & Off-Edge Vents: How to Inspect & Evaluate Service Life
Edge vents and off-edge vents are intake vents that allow air to enter the attic space through a slot cut either at the eaves (edge vent) or upslope from the eaves on the roof (off-edge vent).

Counterflashing: How to Inspect & Evaluate Service Life

Step Flashing: How to Inspect & Evaluate Service life
Step flashing is a series of individual metal pieces installed where a roof surface meets a vertical wall, such as a chimney or dormer. Each piece is woven between an interlocking shingle course, with one half of the step flashing extending across the roof and the other rising vertically against the wall.
Pipe Boots: How to Inspect & Evaluate Service Life
Also called pipe jacks or pipe flashings, pipe boots provide a watertight seal between pipes or other round roof terminations and the roof itself. They are used to seal plumbing vents, radon exhaust vents, bath fan terminations, and some miscellaneous items found on the roof.
Heater Flue Flashing: How to Inspect & Evaluate Service Life
Heater flue flashing seals the area where a heater’s vent pipe passes through the roof’s surface, preventing water intrusion while allowing exhaust gases to escape safely. Heater flues are installed on nearly every house with a gas furnace, hot water heater, or gas fireplace that vents through the roof, making it one of the most common roofing components.
