Where should kickout flashings be situated?

At the top of a roof
Where walls meet roofs
Along the foundation
Around windows

The correct answer is: Where walls meet roofs

Kickout flashings are specifically designed to direct water away from the junction of roof eaves and vertical walls. Their primary purpose is to prevent water from being trapped in these areas, which can lead to water infiltration, mold growth, or damage to both the wall and roofing materials. By installing kickout flashings where walls meet roofs, they effectively guide rainwater into the gutters and ensure that it flows away from the foundation of the structure. This crucial placement helps to maintain the integrity of the building’s envelope and prevent long-term damage.
