Through Flashing

In reply to Brick Exterior - water leaking by jrjpadidiver on January 7th, 2008 02:18 PM [Go to top of thread]

The problem is not at the 2nd story window.

Brick veneer is not a water proof finish. Water will get behind the bricks.

It needs to be directed back out just above the bay window with THROUGH flashing.
