Michael from Kansas asks: I have an addition that was built onto my home. Where the existing roof hits the addition, water collects and leaks into the walls of the addition. What sealer should I apply to the seam where the roof meets the vertical wall of the addition?
where the angled roof meets the vertical wall, it is leaking into the wall. I need to seal the area but want to make sure I’m using the right thing

Hi Michael,
Henry Staggs said this in response to your question:
At a roof to wall abutment there should be a flashing. If it’s the head wall, we need a base and counter flashing.
If is the rake wall and the roof is shingled. We need step flashing and a counter flash.
If it’s tile then we need a pan flashing and counter flash.
