How to attach roof flashing to brick. To prevent wood rot it is important to install flashing over your ledger board properly. While some skylight manufacturers include flashing in their products sometimes roofing professionals have to create it or purchase it separately. Make sure the inside corners of the supporting masonry are at least 4 inches above the roof deck. If the roof runs flat up against the brick wall you must install the roof side of the flashing either under the last layer of shingles or over the roof material if it is metal.
Water and ledgers don t mix and that is why most fail. Properly installed flashing covers the seam between the wall and the roof and directs water onto the roof. It is commonly used in two story and side split houses. Like ledger flashing installing brick flashing is not difficult to do and will extend the life of your front porch or deck.
Install base flashing under shingles or over metal roofing material. Metal roof flashing can be use to seal gaps between roof walls. The edge of the roof has thin metal flashing that helps water drip off the roof without damaging the home or causing a leak. Follow the photo for illustrated instructions.
A 2x4 laid on the roof is a good way to gauge this. Starting at the lowest part of the roof completely cover all three exposed surfaces of the block with peel and stick membrane. This sealer will help the adhesive stick to the mortar much better. Use a good masonry sealer and spread it over the area where you are going to place the metal roof flashing.
Wait until the sealant becomes hard before you proceed to the next step. In an ideal installation the flashing will extend under the brick veneer so that there. Metal roof flashing is a galvanized sheet metal bent at right angles with about eight to 12 inches on each side of the angle. Use a regular paintbrush to apply the sealer to the brick.
