LET'S PLAY CSI!

I often tell people that my profession is a lot like CSI...

​You find one clue... that takes you to another... that leads to something else... that finally ends up showing the real issue.

Sometimes, it goes the other way... Like in this case. 

SO.... LET'S PLAY CSI !

I saw something that I KNOW is gonna be an issue, so I followed the clues. 

So, in the end, the repair attempts were exactly that.... attempts... The correct fix is to add the kickout flashing. 

So, we know that water has been getting in the structure and down into the wall cavity. Because this is a wood frame home, it could have cause some pretty significant structural issues, but there is no way to tell without more destructive investigation. 

​Thanks for playing CSI with me!
