If they did not use any step flashing on the sloped sides of the roof, that is an open invite for water infiltration, let alone with the counterflashing only applied to the face of a wall, instead on in a kerf cut into the brick joints. Brick are very porous, at a building science class I was in, 10% of the water that is on the surface of the brick make it THROUGH the wall. That is where proper construction techniques are used so when the roofer does his job right, it all works. They must kerf the wall | |
