A sloped roof drains into a wall corner with no kickout flashing at the lower end. What failure is most likely?

Correct Answer

Close the inspection item where a sloped roof drains into a wall corner with no kickout flashing at the lower end, without restoring the required access, slope, or support.
C
Water may be directed behind the wall cladding.
D
The concrete footing will gain strength faster.
