When you have a heavy rainstorm where you live, do you have water entering your home? The reasons why this could happen are many, but it is possible that it is due to a lack of kickout flashing. Due to the appearance of kickout flashing, many homeowners mistakenly believe that it is damaged or that it doesn’t serve a purpose, but this is far from the truth.
Kickout flashing is installed to push water out and away from areas of your home that are especially susceptible to water seeping through. This is any area where your roof and wall intersect. While it might be a very small amount of water that makes it in, this will allow rot to eat away at the underlying structure and lead to an exponentially growing problem.
Installing kickout flashing is fairly simple, so make sure to check your roof to see if it is missing, and have it replaced.
