HELP!
I have a brick home in Brooklyn NY and since I bought it, whenever it rains especially long downpours, water drips inside the home just above the windows. I have had the home pointed and waterproofed and it still leaks when it rains. It only leaks on the backside of the home. When the pointing was done no wheep holes were put in, but no wheep holes were there when I bought the home. Brand new replacement windows were put in 2 years ago, with capping and really good caulking. The air conditioning sleeves were taken out and sealed with similar brick to match the existing brick on the outside of the house. After the sleeves were closed, I left the brick exposed on the inside of the bedroom to see if it still leaked and it did when it rained again. I could see the brick wet from the inside of the bedroom as if the water is coming in from inside the wall somewhere. The roof is a rubber roof. It was re-examined this summer and new silver paint applied, and gutters checked.
