Figuring Out Flashings

Reviewing every moisture intrusion point during the design to planning and execution phases is critical, and most people responsible for designing and executing these phases have little to no practical experience identifying them or installing flashing properly. The onus often is on contractors to do designers’ jobs while assuming the liability and risk of legal recourse if things don’t pan out. By extension, the responsibility of knowing what to look for when leaks occur is passed to homeowners. Too many homeowners are faced with the difficult choice of properly repairing these items or ignoring their significance. Too many contractors are unaware of how to identify and eliminate these repeating issues, leading to costly, repetitive and ineffective repairs.
