I see that a lot and hate it. The builder is at fault, but the roofer should have fixed it.

That's one of the main reasons I didn't buy a million dollar home several years ago. How do people miss these things

I'm not a roofer, I don't have construction experience, and I don't inspect homes, but I do learn a lot from this channel.

Leaves will accumulate and hold the water and then decompose and a seed will land and thrive and a tree will grow its the circle of life!

No cricket, but they spent the money on the upgraded shingles. 🤦♂️

From a chimney guy anything more than a single flue chimney should have a cricket behind it. Prevent water damage to the masonry.

does common sense count. I have no idea about roofing, but I know water is gonna pool against that chimney.

Friend just dealt with a leak because they didn't put the cricket in after redoing his roof. A simple job that is now costing the company a lot more to repair.

When you find major flaws like that, code violations, do builders or owners get fined? It seems unsafe/ negligent!

This exactly happened in the house we bought. Had to have a cricket installed. Our home inspection didn’t address this. We found out the hard way
