Broken and disheveled slate on a steeple are a serious safety hazard. Your steeple should be visually inspected annually and thoroughly inspected every five years.

The slate on this steeple was removed. Re-claimed peach bottom slate were installed. New copper ridge was installed. A copper ornament replicated to match the old tin ornament crowns this historic site in Reading, PA.

Notice the disheveled and broken slate. The steeple shown here was reset because the nails were failing.

Steel nails that have rusted allow the slate to slide or tilt. Unchecked flashing leaks from deteriorated copper or rusted tin can cause deck and/or structural deterioration. Photos of the deck deterioration behind steeple finials are shown below.

 

 
 

This deteriorated deck was the direct result of the tin flashing rusting through.

Because the steeple was not inspected on a periodic basis this condition was allowed to exist for many years. It was only when moisture appeared in the form of a small ceiling stain did anyone consider having the steeple inspected at which time the structural damage had already occurred.
