Hello
I discovered today that the wallpaper under all the windows on two sides of the house was wet, and when I pressed it, it was soft. I tore off the Tretex and found a lot of water and dark spots, see pictures.
What do I do now?
Remove everything wet and use a heater?
As you can see in the pictures, it's in the corners of the windows, which are old.
I don't want more water coming in but can't really find where it's getting in.
Both windows and façade are to be replaced in the spring, can I use some sealant around the entire window to seal it?
It's irrelevant if the windows become damaged and can't be opened. They will be replaced anyway. I just want it sealed until spring.
A tarp doesn't work as it's high up and always windy.
It’s an asbestos façade and wooden windows, metal trims.
I’m grateful for any suggestions!

Has Anticimex conducted an inspection in connection with the transfer/purchase of the property?
They have a bad reputation here on the forum, you can search in various threads.
You may possibly file a complaint about the inspection, but it depends a lot on the type of inspection and what is stated in the inspection report.

Yes, we bought the house in November.roland53 said:
The seller had an inspection done with Anticimex, which we were able to review through a copy of the report and a phone discussion with the inspector.
He did mention that the windows needed painting soon but nothing else.
The window in the picture is not the same as in the first pictures, the first pictures are on the 3rd floor so I couldn't take a picture. However, it looks the same there. There's nothing wrong with the asbestos cement plate. It's a branch that is visible.roland53 said:
