    During the heavy rain this weekend I noticed a pool of water on my window sill.

    On closer inspection the wall above my window was saturated and dripping down.

    Water is somehow comming down the outside wall and into my house.

    Anyone any ideas what is causing this and is it tough to fix.

    Hi
    I came across something similiar lately. Check out a few things.
    1. are there any broken or split Slates/Tiles on roof.
    2. are you sure water is coming in from the outside ?

    What I came across was a crack tile and water was going in crack running down the felt and ponding at end of rafter over the window. Then as pond filled water overflowed in the felt.Water should not be able to wet inside of wall from outside because it would drop down at reveals.
