PREVENT RAIN PENETRATION

Causes of rain leaks through exterior walls include improper installation of siding materials; poor-quality flashing, weather stripping, or caulking around joints in the building exterior (such as windows, doors, and bottom plates); and wind-driven rain that penetrates the exterior finish. To enhance protection against rain penetration, create a drainage plane within the wall system of the home.
