House Inspection #2 - Water Application
Water at line pressure was applied to the house to replicate the effects of natural rain storm rain volume and pressure.
Water was applied to all joints, trim and edges from multiple angles to replicate variables of wind and direction of natural rainfall.
We will see later that water running down from above over the exterior siding onto the lower window will play a part at understanding how water enters through the panel window creating more than one type of interior leak.
Not likely that rain water would enter the house siding this far under the eaves (picture immediately above). This picture shows well how every possible opening had water applied. This series also shows well how this inspection, #2, was the inspection to fully consider the entire exterior of the home for possible water entry.
