What causes missing kickout flashing?

Where a roof eave meets a sidewall, a missing kickout flashing dumps roof runoff into the wall assembly — endemic on EIFS and lap-siding builds.

What we check

We inspect every roof-to-wall intersection for kickout flashing and scan the wall below for moisture.

Why it matters
