Metal or flexible materials that divert water from entering the building at joints, valleys, edges, and transitions.

Flashing Observations
Lapping
-
Is an overlap on the exterior of the building commonly in waterproofing, shingles, siding, flashing.
Each overlap, and especially reverse overlaps, are a weak point in the weather barrier. -
Lapping Observations
Anchors
-
Any product that attaches the product to the substrate such as bolts, screws, nails, tape, adhesive.
All anchors must be compatible with the system. Check metals. -
Anchor Observations
Penetrations
-
Any opening or hole through the exterior envelope such as a window, door, vent, pipe, brace, or beam.
Penetrations need to be completely sealed to prevent water and vapor to enter the building. -
Penetrations Observations
Sealants
-
Liquids that are applied to assist in waterproofing in areas such as penetrations, windows, doors, anchors, and reverse laps.
All sealants must be cured properly and compatible with the system. -
Sealants Observations
Evacuation
-
The ability for water to escape without entering the building envelope such as valleys, gutters, weep holes, and drainage.
Proper evacuation methods allow water to pass over or through the system to drain without causing damage. -
Evacuation Observations
Transitions
-
Occur at architectural details where slope, pitch or all planes change such as roofs, chimneys, walls, steps, and decks.
Proper detailing methods at transitions must be reviewed prior to beginning the work. -
