Roof Flashing Problems Where Roofs Meet Stucco Walls
Where a roof meets a stucco wall, flashing has to guide water out and away. If flashing is buried, cracked, loose or sealed incorrectly, water can enter behind the wall or roof edge.
These leaks can be difficult because the visible stain may appear away from the actual wall transition.
What homeowners should look for
- Stains below second-story walls or roof-to-wall transitions.
- Cracked sealant, loose counterflashing or exposed edges.
- Water marks after wind-driven rain.
- Repeated repairs along the same wall line.
