        "text": "Flashing refers to thin pieces of impervious material, typically metal (like aluminum, copper, or galvanized steel), installed to prevent water penetration at vulnerable areas of a roof. On a tile roof, flashing is crucial around chimneys, skylights, vents, valleys, and roof-to-wall intersections. During repair, damaged or improperly installed flashing is a common cause of leaks. Replacing or repairing compromised flashing ensures these critical junctions are waterproof, directing water away from the roof structure and preventing interior damage.",
