An upper roof area drained to a lower roof area plus any abutting walls that provide additional run off during wind driven rain must be added to a lower roof area's drainage calculations. Is it a slotted gutter and have you stood back to see where the water is coming from? Is the red area marked on...

Just know that somethings shouldn't be sealed. Talk to your builder first I think. Yes, this is what I was worried about. Just not sure I have any business asking the builder almost a year later, but I did see a mouse climb up the wall on the opposite end of the house a few days ago (caught it than...
