Section 5: Stains

Water stains on ceiling due to flashing not being counter-flashed with a WRB or sealed to the foam sheathing. Wind driven moisture is forced under the siding at the laps and drains down the wall sheathing behind the flashing into the building envelope. The best repair for this defective detail is to remove the siding and address sealing the flashing so it acts as a flashing diverting moisture to the outside of the building envelope instead of as a funnel.
