Question
i have a problem withrun off water from the roof running in behind the sideing. it's a two level roof and the problem is where they meet.where the lower level roof ends theres a recessed entry opening into the garage.so the lower level roof does not extend past the house on one side. which means the water runoff from the roof comes in contact with the sideing on one side. the flashing required for the different level is there but it is behind the sideing, so at lower level roof end the water is behind the sideing. do you have any kind of picture or diaghram of flashing that could be installed at the bottom to turn the water from behind the sideing to the outside of the sideing.
Answer
Mark,
It sounds like you need a diverter flashing, or 'kick out' flashing as the last step flashing on the sidewall. Paste the following link into your web browser. It will show you the interaction of the flashing with general exterior wall components and a fabrication drawing. You can use sealant instead of solder, however the solder is usually a sure thing and the sealant will fail over time so it will require routine inspection and maintenance.
