Step,flashing is used along walls that intersect the roof. Each short section of flashing channels water over the shingle downhill from it. nBut if the flashing rusts through. or a piece comes loose, water will run behind it, and into the house it goes. Rusted flashing needs to be replaced. That means removing shingles, prying siding loose, and then removing and replacing the step flashing. It's that simple. But occasionally a roofer forgets to nail one in place and it eventually slips down to expose the wall.
Best of luck repairing/replacing your step flashing!
