Benefits of technology

[0006]The current invention is a method and system for flashing to prevent damage by draining water to the exterior of the building. This drainage is accomplished by using proper flashing such as an extruded or other profile to seal against the water intrusion into the wall cavity and into the building structure.

Problems solved by technology

This moisture will also enter the rough opening 106, and if not properly managed, can cause water damage or a potential to water damage and associated mold damages.

Abstract

Concrete masonry units, CMU, windows and doors are flashed by applying a side flashing to the top and sides of the rough opening before blocking, applying a sill pan in the bottom of the rough opening, and then installing the window or door. Portions of the side flashings on the top and sides of the rough opening are then bent over the side and top window or door flanges so that a portion of the side flashings may be adhered or otherwise fastened to the flanges to provide a seal.
