This customer had a mystery leak dripping from the center of her living room ceiling. We traced the leak back to the exterior wall and deduced that the window was probably the source. Sure enough, once we opened the wall and siding near the window it became clear that the window had been leaking for years. The entire wall was saturated and completely molded. We also discovered that the original contractor had installed the Tyvek incorrectly (underlapped instead of overlapped), and that they did not seal any of the windows correctly. We located the leak, removed the molded material and sealed everything back up until the home owner could schedule a mold remediation company to clean the entire area. This turned into a very extensive job, the ultimate source of which was poor building methods used by the original contractor.
