This could go further, and result in your roof leaking water into your home. Your furniture may be at risk and your electrical appliances may become a good conductor of electric current which is not a good thing. Lots of unwanted risks will build up simply because you fail at replacing a rusted flashing.
To repair a flashing, first ensure that nails are holding the flashings well in place, and that there is no warping in the surrounding shingles that might suggest water damage. Take a wire brush and scrape away any rust from the flashing’s surface, and sand it afterwards if necessary.
You should also remove any old caulk or loose substances, like roofing cement, with a metal putty knife. Wash the flashing with a mixture of trisodium phosphate and water, apply a rust converter to the affected areas, and then follow it with a latex coat of paint after it is dry. With a putty knife, apply roofing cement to the edges of the flashing, ensuring that no water can get beneath its surface.
