In the attached images, we show an improperly installed kick-out flashing. A kick-out flashing plays a vital role in preventing water damage to your home’s exterior and interior surfaces. Unfortunately, improper installation of a kick-out flashing can lead to severe consequences, as shown.

The first image shows an improperly installed kick-out flashing. This critical component is designed to divert water away from your home’s structure. When installed incorrectly, it fails to perform its intended function, resulting in water seepage and damage to the stucco surface and interior surfaces of your home.

The subsequent images show the distressing consequences that stem from a faulty kick-out flashing. We captured the wood water damage found in the attic wall behind the improperly installed flashing. These hidden issues can go unnoticed by the untrained eye, yet they have the potential to escalate into major structural concerns over time.
