Flashing

A two-part assembly at the roof junction. Both parts are required and the lap is what works.

What is Flashing?

Base or step flashing integrates with the roofing and turns up against the masonry; counter-flashing is set into a cut joint and laps down over it. Sealant applied where they meet is not a repair — it has a short service life in sun and movement, and once applied it conceals the defect while water continues to enter.
