Small flashing. Big problem.
A missing kick-out flashing may not look like a major issue during a home inspection…
But this small piece of flashing is what helps direct roof water away from the siding and wall cavity.
When it’s missing, water can run behind the siding, damage sheathing, create hidden rot, and eventually lead to mold or interior leaks.
This is one of those defects that can be easy to overlook — until it becomes expensive.
During a home inspection, we’re not just looking at the roof.
We’re looking at how the roof, siding, gutters, and drainage all work together to protect the home.
