A wall cladding crew starts above a low roof before the base flashing and counterflashing are installed. Water will shed from the wall onto that roof edge. What is the best correction?

Correct Answer

A) Stop and install the flashing sequence so water is shingled to the exterior drainage path

Flashing must be sequenced shingle-fashion so water drains outward rather than behind the roof edge. Other choices use non-durable sealant, rely on evaporation, or delay a concealed critical layer.

Answer Options
A
Stop and install the flashing sequence so water is shingled to the exterior drainage path

Seal the bottom cladding edge with painter's caulk

The crew should leave a gap and rely on evaporation
D
Install flashing after the first leak test only

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Flashing must be sequenced shingle-fashion so water drains outward rather than behind the roof edge. Other choices use non-durable sealant, rely on evaporation, or delay a concealed critical layer.
