Bill Kibbel Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 I've seen them fail as early as 50 years. I've seen some make it to 85 years. More info here: www.oldhouseweb.com/how-to-advice/cemen ... fing.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip Posted November 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Bill, Thanks for the link. I will sent it to my client. When I talked to him I cover all of the items you have in there. The flashing was replaced a few year back but they did not use copper which would last longer if it was installed right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
