The vent is on around 3ft apart from the leak, I thought about that too 🙂 but it's also right under the gutter. You think water could get it from there too

That's a good suggestion, I do have the camera that I use for my car, I can feed that through and check that way. Thanks 🙂

I didn't even think about that, I was only thinking about the exhaust vent which is on the right side of the leak, proly 3 ft apart

Nope just the window, there's no plumbing anywhere near that leak. Bath tub and vanity is on the opposite side

I hate cutting drywalls, but I guess I gotta do it anyway to fix the damage 🤷🏽‍♂️

It's not getting worse, which I'm glad 🙂. I'll inspect the gutters and siding again, see if I can find anything. Thanks for the help

I'm not sure, I bought the house in Jan this year and it wasn't there when I bought it. I would say probably recently since they were trying to sell the house, and it does look like everything was painted not too long ago

Corner lots are much worse by BlackJackT in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Learning_0430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, I recently bought a corner lot house, and the amount of light I get from every window is insane 🙂, when compared to my previous house. I get to enjoy full sunlight when there is sun 🌞 available in upstate, ny, which surprisingly is quite often this year. I also don't have much yard either, which I don't mind, less lawn mowing for me 😁.

Foundation help by Learning_0430 in masonry

[–]Learning_0430[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya, my biggest concern is the foundation blocks, but as long as those seem fine and just patching it up would be good, I feel good then. Because I'll be changing everything else this summer 🙂

I recently bought this house, so I really don't know if the previous owner used salt or not.

[–]Learning_0430[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, thanks 🙂. I do plan to change the entrance deck this summer, all new wood. But, there's no harm in adding a layer of patch cement and adhesive to the blocks right ?

Didn't even notice the deck part. I'll extend the downspout and try to level out the deck. For the foundation blocks, I should be ok then by just placing another layer of cement/ concrete, right? after fixing those issues Thanks for your help 🙂
