IRC R908.6 requires new flashing. Metal fatigues; "looking okay" isn't forensic science.
Sealant degradation causes envelope breaches. #Forensics #BuildingScience

Code Myth Monday: Approved Drawings vs. Physics.
If drawings ignore ASTM E2112, the building will leak. Physics always wins over prints.

From a building science standpoint, IRC R903.2.1 flashing is a capillary break for high-pressure rain zones.
4" up, 4" over.

1/2" stair gap okay? IRC R311.7.5.1 says no. >3/8" variance disrupts gait & trips. We prove geometry of failure.
