EIFS kick out flashing?

[Barry Adair]

Hey mate received the post, thanx for these and all you do!

Hi Barry,

This may help to explain why it's important to have a funtional diverter flashing. If you do a repair and install it with the same out-dated methods
and materials, you cannot expect better results. It is important to have a kick out diverter at the roof eave to wall intersection, it's more important that it funtions with the other components. This is the way to stop pre-mature building failures.

Its a slow pitch so its needed , I would suggest gutter and daown spout

Great advice.

We touch on the importants of kick out flashing in our recent episode on NachiTV http://www.nachi.tv/episode30 and agree that http://www.dryflekt.com/ is one of the better products.

What are the others?

Does the sill flashing void the warranty on the windows when you install it and do away with the shims?

Did they check the deck columns at the stucco house for moisture? They are next to impossible to make water tight!

Was there a moisture barrier under the EIFS?

Did the backer rod and sealant joint go back to the sheathing or did they run the first layer of foam up tight to the windows and just leave the joint in the trim application?

If the top of the bottom window had flashing instead of a backer rod and sealant joint some of the water might have been kicked out.

Just received a PM from an esteemed member offering to send me a sample diverter.

How cool is that? NACHI rocks!

Barry,

Did you get that diverter? If you did what do you think of them?
