This house design in the Hot-Humid climate uses a slab foundation, masonry walls, and an Exterior Insulation Finish System (EIFS) cladding.
Wrong - House wrap was not properly cut and adhered where the roof meets the wall so water is likely to get behind the house wrap.
Wrong - House wrap was poorly cut at wall interface and not taped leaving wood exposed and vulnerable to water entry.
Wrong - Roof is missing metal drip edge to cover the edge of OSB roof decking, roof underlayment should be trimmed back, and asphalt shingles are poorly installed.
Wrong - Roof-wall juncture lacks metal flashing and is poorly designed, thus encouraging water entry.
Wrong – the water-resistant barrier is layered underneath the step flashing, which could allow water to get behind the step flashing and into the wall.
