Closeup
This is a closeup of the water staining in the corner where the windows meet the wall by the door. The dark wood near the center of the picture is part of a paralam beam. Even the drywall is waterstained and moldy here. There was no evidence of this inside the house other than the leak (which actually came from this beam about 2 feet away from this spot) which we thought we had fixed. Perhaps it wasn't really fixed though - this beam is still registering in the red zone on the moisture meter, though we haven't had the leak in 2 years. It is a paralam beam, so maybe they just take a while to dry out, especially since it's been sealed up with insulation? Hopefully it is still structurally sound (the part we can see is solid), as it is one of the main support beams in the house.
