Water Leak/Damage - Recommendations?
I've been pretty good at inspecting and having the roof, edges and corners resealed with Dicor Self leveling sealant, BUT, just this week I noticed a little water in the garage area of the TH when getting ready to head to TN. THe TH lists a bit to the driver side when parked and I had it slightly nose down. The water was coming from under the diamond plate on the passenger side just behind the entry door to the garage. So, ended up pulling all the diamond plate and found the damage, traced it back to what I believe is the rear corner. Looks like it is coming in along the metal frame and outside paneling then running and weeping all along the wall.
I have included some pics. FIrst one is the whole wall, 2nd one is the corner where I pulled the inside paneling off and inslulation.
In this area the outside wood is very wet. I took the small air vent out to see if that was the source but it showed no signs of leaking.
Cut a hole above that vent in corner and outside wood is still wet, concentrated in the corner.
Now I am stumped. the corner trim on the outside all looks good, no cracks in sealant/caulk. The top corner also looks in good shape, not cracks, nothing peeling or separating.
Also as I stated, the TH tilts towards the drivers side slightly when parkedin my drive, so I don't think it is coming from the garage door area since that would run the other way and not uphill towards the corner.
Couple questions?
1) Anyone else with a Fuzion had this issue?
2) What recommendations for next step?
I will say I have duct taped a piece of plastic from just under the roof edge and rain spout all the way down so that the corner trim is fully covered. This is my attempt to isolate where it could be coming from.
Any recommendations or help would be greatly appreciated. This sucks because I inspect this twice a year so this wouldn't happen.
Had the TH all the way to Montana in October thru down pours of rain with no signs of this at that time.
