WATER
INTRUSION AND REMEDIATION FOR WOOD FRAME HOMES
WITH EIFS
Large
quantities of water that can result in some
of the most severe damage have frequently been
doscovered entering behind where a roof meets
and terminates at the lower edge in a wall.
The location of water entry is often difficult
to see, and the damage to substrate and structural
members behind the exterior wall cladding frequently
cannot be detected by visual inspection.
Roofs
- install effective kick-out flashing at roof
to wall intersections...
Effective implies that flashing and caulking
prevents water intrusion.
