Hello All – I purchased a new construction home back in 2007 and a few months after my 1 year home warranty expired I noticed a small leak around 2 of my living room windows.
When it rains heavily the windows will leak water at the top of the window frame from the seams in the drywall tape. I attempted to caulk the exterior of the windows but it still sometimes leaks.
I'm guessing that the flash paper was installed improperly or maybe even worse that the stucco on the exterior of my home has a small breach that’s allowing water to seep in.
Can someone please suggest the best approach for identifying the cause of the problem and rectifying the issue?
I’m uncertain if I should contact a window installer, stucco person, home inspector, etc, etc??
Thank you
