What Kick-Out Flashing Does
Kick-out flashing diverts water away from the wall at the point where a roofline meets a sidewall, directing it into the gutter instead of behind the siding.
What Happens Without It
Missing kick-out flashing is a common cause of hidden wall damage — water running behind siding or stucco for years before the damage becomes visible inside.
Where It's Often Missing
Older homes and additions are the most common places to find this detail missing, since it’s easy to overlook during construction if it’s not specifically checked for.
Checking For It During An Inspection
A thorough roof inspection includes checking every roof-to-wall intersection for proper kick-out flashing, not just the visible roof surface.
