Brandon Whitmore Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 Not according to all of the masons in this area........
Mike Lamb Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 No flashing? It should extend through the face of the brick veneer.
John Dirks Jr Posted January 25, 2012 Report 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.
kurt Posted January 25, 2012 Report 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.
Scottpat Posted January 25, 2012 Report 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.
ericwlewis Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report 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]
Brandon Whitmore Posted January 26, 2012 Report 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.
