Back Up of ice under dripedge flashing at the bottom (eves) of the roof, it will also allow ice or melting to get behind the gutter if it does not have caulking over the back of it.
News flash, "After a cold flash", "only happens in winter" are better clues than that photo will give.Ĭ`mon.show me a little more than that !!Ī well cleaned and maintained gutter full of ice will allow. We've checked the attic, but no signs of moisture leaking in there. Well, that was a simple solution, but the problem persists despite our clean gutters. We've had some folks come look at it and they have suggested that the gutters need to be cleaned. On the interior of the home at that point is a closet, though there is a bathroom nearby. It's actually quite a lot! We suspect that freezing temperatures at night with warmer days aren't helping since we're seeing some of the siding start to bulge outward. Now, there is a section on the second floor (we've seen it a couple of other places, but it's most concentrated in one area) that has reddish brown liquid lines running down, from under the siding. A year and a half ago, we had liquid siding put on the house. I don't think it was ever stained, always painted. I actually found this site because I was looking for some information about what I call my "Amityville Horror House" (because it's bleeding)! We also have a 2 story colonial, built in 1979. A photo of the entire side of the house would help alot. If you have no lower rooflines, disreguard this reply and I`ll move on to another possibility. If the siding is cut too close to the roofline you will get the same results as above. Also check the foundation to see green growth indicating draining from behind siding. If you see the stepflashing drain behind the siding, the paint under the butts will keep it from draining out and still, if the lap is below the first stepflashing all the water will drain behind all the siding and the Tyvex paper or underlayment will keep it from showing up inside for years,but it will travel and show up on joints and weaknesses in the paint as drips that appear as bleeding. A good way to tell is that you should be able to see the bottom of the first stepflashing.
If you have additions with roof lines diagonnally down the plane, the first piece of stepflashing MUST drain on to the face of the last cut siding that starts up the run. step by step I`ll eliminate possibilities. OK, Colonial two story, clabboards, leaks on first floor only, good clues.
