Deck Ledger Flashing Installation
Description
This video demonstrates a practical deck ledger flashing installation technique used to protect exterior wood structures from water intrusion. By carefully inserting metal flashing between the house siding and the deck ledger board, moisture is redirected away from the structure, helping prevent wood rot, mold growth, and costly repairs. This method improves durability, extends service life, and enhances overall structural reliability for outdoor decks and platforms.
