Proper gutter installation is crucial here. When gutters are clogged, damaged, or incorrectly pitched, water can back up under the roof's edge and directly onto the metal flashing. This constant moisture accelerates corrosion and can force the flashing to lift or separate. We install and repair gutters to ensure water is channeled safely away from your roof, protecting the flashing and the underlying structure from our area's occasional heavy rains and the damage they can cause.

Earthmoving and regrading are key. If the land around your home slopes toward your foundation, water pools and can damage walls and footings. We correct this by regrading to create positive drainage away from the house. Additionally, we construct retaining walls to manage soil erosion and design patios or walkways with proper slopes. Combined with a functional irrigation system to prevent overwatering, these measures reduce soil saturation and hydrostatic pressure, safeguarding your home's drywall, exterior walls, and overall structural integrity.

Yes, a full roof replacement is the most comprehensive solution for widespread flashing corrosion. Our process involves completely removing the old roofing materials and damaged flashing. We then install new, high-quality metal flashing—often using corrosion-resistant materials suited for our desert climate—integrated seamlessly with a new underlayment and roofing system (like tiles or shingles). This not only fixes the immediate issue but also addresses any underlying decking damage we might find, giving you a complete, watertight system with a new warranty for long-term peace of mind.
