roofing from bonding to the sealant so that it can expand and contract within the material’s limits without tearing or breaking. The drawing below illustrates how all these components can be used together to create a robust waterproof seal. (insert expansion joint detail drawing picture)

Other System-Specific Flashing Materials
Certain systems utilize uncured neoprene flashings or metal flashings to achieve results similar to those provided by reinforcing fabrics or tapes.
Taking the following steps to create proper seals will dramatically reduce the potential for leakage:
- Identify detail conditions.
- Review details with waterproofing manufacturer.
- Ask for standard and nonstandard detail drawings that illustrate proper techniques.
- Obtain the necessary accessory products.
- Execute carefully! Take extra time to install the system over details. Defects in the details almost always result in leaks.
