Your siding installation from what we can see was not done with a number of typical guidlines in mind. The guidelines he recommends help keep water flowing away-from and down-to the bottom of the house. Is there a quick fix to prevent further leakage?Īs Iggy noted his answer is absolutely correct for J-Channel installation.The water seems to be going behind the black stuff. I poured 1 liter of water all around it and it leaked! I freed the piece of siding under the vent (see pictures below). I decided to go up to the next weak point, a bathroom vent. Would the flashing be under the black stuff? Or does this mean there is no flashing? If none, does anyone have a go-to how-to video or it is easy to DIY?Įdit 2: I used a water bottle to dump a few liters of water over the J channel. I checked a few other windows and now I am pretty sure all 20+ of my windows have this gap in the J Channel.Įdit: Below is a picture of the window under the siding. Secondly, if so, what is the best solution? First of all, I wanted to get confirmation this is incorrect. There is a large gap in this image taken from above. I assumed it was the flashing, but before I even got that far I noticed the J Channel looks very wrong (to my amateur eyes). I am getting a pretty bad leak above a window.
