We found out we had an on-going leak in the bedroom closet AFTER it had wicked its way through the carpet till it reached under the bed. (Got caught last year in the South Carolina rains that caused all the flooding) After a LOT of searching and finally using a thermal imaging camera, I found that the rear cap/roof joint seal as well as the trim seal was cracked open and the water was leaking between the wall down to the floor. The drying process entailed pulling and disposing of ALL the carpet from the rig from to rear to the front to check for further leaks, (found two more places) turning on the furnace and running fans towards the source of the leaks for a month...alternately spraying a clorox/water mix on the sub-flooring to kill any mold that might decide to grow. In the meantime, I re-sealed all the roof joints and side trim with Dicor. So far, so good, and it's been a wet summer around here!
