Help, leaking from outside.
I've had similar issues (though not as extensive, luckily). The window settled, and the window sill slipped out of place, just a little. But it was enough that when it was very windy, water came in and got under the parquet floor beneath the window on the inside. And we wondered why the floor looked like someone had spilled water there or left the window open when it rained. But it was from underneath.E.F said:
So it is very likely that it's those gaps between the plates, visible in your pictures #27, that are causing trouble. Especially if the window faces west/south, that's usually where the wind comes from.
I also don't think any insurance company covers this. I had to tear down my glass veranda and the terrace on top because water (rain) had apparently seeped into the floor/ceiling over a long period, resulting in all the timber rotting :/M Morgonskiftet said:
