Hard driving rain causes leak around window
I am seeking comments about such leaks and how we can totally prevent future incidents. It is important to note the leaks do not occur during normal rain. Now that additional brick & mortar caulking has recently been completed is there a way we do a water test? If so, how is such a test performed? An additional question. What is the very best clear sealing caulk to use?
Any and all comments, suggestions and questions are invited.

Although late to the party, I have a related question regarding cracks and such on a manufactured home with non-brick siding. It's composite. I'd like to seal the cracks and such before painting this summer, getting it ready. Would flexshield work on composite siding? I am in Portland, OR and we have just passed the worst snow and ice in the area, not to be returning likely. I'd like to save on my electric bills, and I'm told this may help.
Eileen I think there might be a contact number or website for those products I would ask them, mine I was able to paint over but you really have to apply it neatly. personally I think it would work for you, but double check. I swear by the stuff
We had a problem with a leaking window everytime we would get a hard rain. My husband inspected the area and found that the gutters were not sufficient for the water flow and this was causing the leaking at the window. We'll be doing a gutter upgrade very soon.
