In this
photo you can see the rubber or vinyl type flashing has
decayed. While the roofing shingles may often last 16 to 20
years, the rubber type flashings will fail in 7 to 14 years
depending on the exposure to the sun.

This
Picture shows a correct kick out flashing in stucco. This same
kick out flashing should also be used in many other sidings
such as but not limited to masonite or wood lap type sidings.

This

flashing cut into the mortar joints

This photo shows a good example of a step down roof to
wall flashing cut into the mortar joints. |
The
shiny metal attached to the brick is call a cricket flashing.
Most of the have to be custom made by a qualified metal worker
with roofing experience. You can see how this diverts the
water around the chimney. This is a great example of a preferred
installation.
|
This heating unit vent stack flashing has pulled
away from the roof and will be prone to leak during a hard
blowing rain. Securing repair is recommended. |
This
is a straight roof to wall flashing butted against the brick.
The installer failed to seal the flashing to the brick.
Sealants are highly recommended.
|
This
is a close up of the straight flashing on the left. As you can
see there are no sealants. Sealants are highly recommended and
will periodically need touch up.
