If a drip is not provided, water that reaches the top surface of the flashing can cling to the underside of flashing, flow back to the face of the wall and under the flashing. When sealant is placed between the bottom surface of the flashing and the top of the masonry below, drip edges are not absolutely required for the flashing to perform.
