Wacky Weds: Penny Wise but Pound Foolish

We got another two-fer special for you today…Both involve a simple piece of flashing called a kick-out which directs water away from the wall. For more on this simple detail & the codes around it, check out 4 Flashing Errors & how to Avoid Them .

no-kick-out-very-badDo you really need three guesses where the water is flowing & being trapped? Nah, I didn’t think so

no-kick-out-damage

Yep, lord forbid that the roofer spends a dollar to install a kick-out flashing which will help prevent thousands of dollars of damage later on. In the same vain, thank goodness the homeowner called around and got the “best” price possible. Penny Wise & Pound Foolish – sure looks that way to me…
