Cricket
A cricket is a small peaked structure built behind chimneys or roof penetrations to redirect water and prevent pooling. It improves drainage in areas where debris and water may collect. In Vancouver’s rainy conditions, crickets are commonly used to reduce leak risks and extend roof lifespan.
