New Blog from Service Guys Roofing Sheds Light on Overlooked Roof Flashing — A Critical Defense Against Leaks

Erie, CO – Homeowners in Erie and surrounding Colorado communities now have a powerful resource to protect their homes from water damage, thanks to a newly published blog article from Service Guys Roofing. Titled “Roof Leaking? Why Roof Flashing Matters More Than You Think”, the article reveals the silent yet significant role that roof flashing plays in keeping homes dry and structurally sound.

As the blog points out, many roof leaks aren’t caused by gaping holes or missing shingles, but rather by damaged or improperly installed roof flashing. Flashing, typically made from metal, is installed around vulnerable areas like chimneys, vents, skylights, and roof valleys to divert water away from the roof’s interior. When flashing fails, the results can be devastating: attic leaks, mold growth, structural damage, and mounting repair bills.

“We often find that the most damaging leaks start at flashing points that were either skipped or poorly installed,” said a spokesperson from Service Guys Roofing. “That’s why we created this blog—to help homeowners recognize the signs early and understand why flashing deserves attention.”

The article offers a thorough guide to:

• Common warning signs of missing or damaged flashing, such as water stains near fireplaces and musty attic odors
• Different types of flashing (step flashing, apron flashing, pipe boots, etc.) and their crucial roles in waterproofing
• Consequences of neglect, including mold risks, structural deterioration, and higher energy bills
• Why professional roof inspections and flashing repair services are a smart investment
