Water doesn’t need a big opening to cause big problems.
At this home, the concrete patio was poured directly against the siding, creating an opportunity for water to get into the wall. There was metal flashing in place, but it wasn’t long enough to properly direct the water away from the framing.
Over time, water intrusion led to rot in the bottom plate and sub siding.
Our estimator breaks down exactly how the water was getting in, why the flashing wasn’t doing its job, and what should have been done differently.
These are the details that may not be obvious from the outside, but they can make a major difference in how well your home handles water.
