It looks just like picture/scenario #4 where the leaks seem to be coming in from the bottom. The outer corners of the wood windowsill are rotted from water damage and the drywall around these sill corners also appear to be water damaged. The telltale signs of water penetration was actually from water that appeared to have run down the corners and settled on the baseboard heater. Do you have any ideas how to remedy this? Do we need to replace all of the windows (as there are 3 windows that are really bad but the rest of the windows all seem to have similar problems along the corners to a lesser degree). I would greatly appreciate any advise you can give me regarding the matter. TIA Hi Mark,
