Weatherproofing & Moisture Protection

Flashing and water management details that steer water out of the wall

Most siding leaks do not come from the siding. They come from missing or misinstalled flashing at windows, doors, rooflines, decks and penetrations.

Flashing & Water Management

Flashing is thin metal or membrane that guides water over and away from places where it would otherwise get in. It goes above windows and doors, where roofs meet walls, behind deck ledgers and at the base of walls. A missing kick-out flashing at the end of a roof edge can quietly soak a wall for years.

We install and correct flashing across Nashville and Middle Tennessee. We find missing or backwards flashing, install head flashing, kick-outs, step flashing, sill pans and base flashing in the right order, tie them to the weather barrier and seal penetrations so the wall sheds water the way it was meant to.

FAQ

Common questions about flashing & water management

What is kick-out flashing?

A small piece of metal that directs roof runoff away from the wall where a roof edge meets siding.

Can flashing be added without removing siding?

Sometimes, in limited cases. Proper flashing often requires removing some siding.

Why does the flashing order matter?

Water runs downhill, so each layer must lap over the one below. Backwards laps feed water into the wall.
