If you do not know what kickout flashing is, you are not alone. Many homeowners are unfamiliar with the purpose of this integral part to your home, and because of this, some have removed it, since it could look like it is broken and out of place. Kickout flashing pushes water out and away from vulnerable areas of your roof, where a wall and the roof intersect, to prevent it from seeping in. If you are buying a new home, it is a good idea to check and see if this is the case with your home, since you should replace them as soon as possible. A home without kickout flashing will quickly experience leaks, which will lead to water damage and mold.
If you don’t know what it looks like, or if you are unsure where it should be installed, you should contact an experienced roofer who can help you get it installed correctly.
