A method of preventing water leaking from a window frame from damaging a building includes installing flashing under the window without removing the window. The method includes cutting a passage sloping upwardly from the outside surface of the wall just below the window. A flashing member is inserted into the passage, along the entire length of the window. The interior edge of the flashing extends beyond the interior surface of the window frame. Water leaking from the frame is directed outwardly by the flashing. The interior edge of the flashing preferably has a lip which .may be used to fasten the flashing to the interior surface of the window frame. This secures the flashing member in the passage. The method is much less expensive than the alternative of removing and replacing windows which have leaking frames.
