HVAC Roof Flashing in Lakeland

Lakeland, Florida, experiences significant challenges for metal roofing and fabrication due to its proximity to the coast, exposing structures to salt air and high humidity. The region is also prone to hurricane-force winds, requiring robust materials and installation methods. The inland location offers some buffer from direct coastal salt spray compared to cities directly on the Atlantic or Gulf, but the intense Florida heat and pervasive humidity remain constant factors affecting metal performance and longevity, alongside the varied age and construction types of existing buildings.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Building owners should prioritize materials and finishes specifically rated for high-humidity and potential salt-air environments to prevent premature corrosion.
  • Hurricane preparedness is crucial; ensure roofing systems meet or exceed local wind load requirements and are installed by experienced professionals.
  • Regular inspection and maintenance, particularly after severe weather events, can extend the lifespan of metal installations.
  • Consider the thermal expansion and contraction of metal in Lakeland’s hot climate to ensure proper seam integrity and prevent stress on fasteners.

What the work involves

This service involves fabricating and installing custom-fit metal flashing, typically made of aluminum, galvanized steel, or copper, around the base and penetrations of HVAC units. The flashing is integrated with the roofing system to create a watertight seal, directing water away from the unit and the roof deck.

When this comes up

  • When a new HVAC unit is installed on the roof.
  • When existing roof flashing around an HVAC unit is damaged or deteriorated.
  • When the roofing system is being replaced and requires updated flashing for HVAC penetrations.
  • To address leaks or water damage originating from around a rooftop HVAC unit.
