Update since the window is not fixed yet – Oct 30, 2015<\/p>\n

A big storm hit us this morning with winds from the Southeast… \u00a0the leak was worse than we’ve ever seen it.<\/p>\n

Thought this would make it easier for Roofcrafters to have all the history on the window leak we have in the new window. \u00a0The leak is in the dinning room window coming from above. \u00a0Not sure if the leak is in that window or the window above (it was replaced also) and the water is leaking through the wall. \u00a0The leak only happens when the storm comes from the east and the window pushes the rain against the window.<\/p>\n

The window has always leaked since installation- the photo below is from June 25, 2014. \u00a0My description sent in an email:\u00a0One big one that just popped up is the dining room window is leaking a river\u2026 I\u2019m not talking about a drop here or there, it\u2019s basically a faucet on low. I think it needs some major rework, a little patch isn\u2019t going to do it. \u00a0Here is a picture of it when the rain came through this morning. Water is pouring in right of the blinds brace<\/em><\/p>\n

Troy came out that same day and did some chaulking, didn’t solve the problem. \u00a0Description sent back on June 26, 2014:\u00a0Thanks for coming out yesterday\u2026 while the caulk slowed the water flow, the towel on the inside is soaked after the rain last night. Can you please come back out and see if you can figure it out.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Troy came\u00a0the following day – unsure what he did but the rain ended for the summer so hard to tell if it was fixed.<\/p>\n

Nov 22, 2014 – Email: \u00a0I’m sure I’m the last person you want to hear from, but the leak that Troy worked on is still flowing. I took a video of the leak to help you pinpoint where it’s coming in front. \u00a0During one of the cloudbursts today, I got 1\/2 gallon of water in an hour.<\/em>
\n I checked the window above it since Troy thought it might be seeping down, but there wasn’t much water build up on the sill.<\/em>
