CAVITY FLASHING REPLACEMENT
Cavity flashing is a concealed waterproof barrier installed within brick and masonry walls. Its purpose is to direct trapped water safely out of the wall cavity through weep holes before moisture can enter internal structures.
Over time, cavity flashings can deteriorate, split, corrode, or fail due to age, poor installation, building movement, or water exposure.
At Clover Construction, we specialise in identifying failed cavity flashing systems and carrying out professional replacement solutions designed to protect your property long-term. Our approach focuses on resolving the source of water ingress, not just the visible signs of damage.
