More flashing
Some people don’t seem to understand the reasoning behind flashing. It’s a must to properly flash or you can / will end up with water inside the home. At a home inspection in Gulf Shores, Al I found a home made kick out flashing installed which is not keeping water out of the home. Improper kick out flashing This home is a victim of tradesman that either don’t know better or just don’t care #Stucco #waterleaks #flashing #homeinspection #responsiblities

Flashing – again
Some things don’t seem to change, that is the quality of some work I’ve been seeing. I am wondering if perhaps it has something to do with hurricane Ivan. It’s been over 3 years and some of those homes repaired are likely up for sale again. This is another picture of a poorly installed kick out flashing and a homemade extension. #flashing #handyman #stuco

Stucco flashing
At an inspection yesterday all flashing and window sealants looked terrible. I expected to find lots of damage. Though I did get some elevated moisture readings, I probed to find no damage under windows or kick out flashings.Here is a picture of how someone added a kick out flashing. #flashing #kickout #Stucco

Kick out flashings
While doing a stucco moisture inspection in Gulf Shores, AL the other day they had some interesting kick out flashings. (at least they had them) They are a home made brand that will hold any and all debris and water from completely draining. These flashings will need to be cleaned out more than the gutters will. I can see debris and salt water / air shouldn’t take long to rust through these. #flashing #kickout #Stucco
