Mike Lamb Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 No flashing? It should extend through the face of the brick veneer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dirks Jr Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Yeah, sometimes its a little short. Did you shine your light in? I suspect that if the flashing was totally missing, you might see secondary moisture barrier in there against the sheathing. Sometimes the flashing is there but the weep is clogged with mortar from lousy workmanship. I see that alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 How old is the house? That was a common practice (no flashing, just a head joint left open for ventilation) on some 60's-70's houses I see around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottpat Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 That is a common find for me and to the point that I don't say anything unless I see other problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericwlewis Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 it's a 2007 and I had to scrape loose mortar out just to see that far in. I suspect the no flashing and full of mortar SOP [:-thumbd] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Whitmore Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 You all are lucky to see flashing there. I think I've actually seen through wall flashing on a residential place once or twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
