As you probably are aware, there are so many parts to a home to keep track of that it is near impossible for a homeowner to be familiar with all of them. Sometimes this can lead to an issue however, since there might be parts of your home that looks out of place to you when in reality they are essential.
Take kickout flashing for example. The way it looks, an inexperienced homeowner could easily think that it is damaged or out of place but in reality, it plays an important role in keeping your home safe from water damage.
The purpose of kickout flashing is to push water away from sensitive areas of your roof, such as where a roof is intersected by a wall, and preventing water intrusion.
If you notice that kickout flashing is missing from your roof, it could be that a previous homeowner has removed it because he thought it looked wrong. If this is the case, you should have it replaced as soon as possible.
