Flashing Where Roof Meets Brick Wall

Flashing must be used where the foundation meets the brickwork.

Flashing where roof meets brick wall. The flashing extends onto the roof a minimum of 2 inches 4 inches is preferable in more severe climate areas. Except where walls are brick the vertical part of the sidewall flashing should extend up behind the exterior wall covering just like with headwalls. It should extend from the brick veneer wythe through the brick s exterior face and end in a mortar joint in the interior wythe. Follow the photo for illustrated instructions.

The flashing extends up the wall at least 4. 1 run membrane down the side of the block and onto the roof underlayment. Flat roof and flashing against brick wall install base flashing under shingles or over metal roofing material. If the roof runs flat up against the brick wall you must install the roof side of the flashing either under the last layer of shingles or over the roof material if it is metal.

The horizontal part of the flashing will vary depending on the type of roof covering material. 2 fold a vertical strip into the inside corner extending it above the top of the block so that the next layer of flashing will cover it shingle style. The metal flashing is formed with a hook edge and cleated on 12 centers. Flashing will need to be used at the base the intersection of the chimney with the rood and at the chimney crown.

Keep doing this until you run out of stepped blocks. And 3 cap the block with membrane overlapping the first two pieces and bridging the gap between the block and the wall sheathing. Flashing the shingles where a roof meets a wall is important for future leakage.
