Hi everyone,
I have an arch window installed directly over two single-hung windows. I'm not sure if they were installed as a single set originally or not.
We bought the home last March and the arch window had a broken seal, causing condensation inside. The window was replaced before we moved in contingent to the sale.
A couple months later we had our first heavy wind-driven rains and the windows started leaking from what I can only describe as the "horizontal mullion" but I'm not entirely sure what it's called or the "anatomy" of how it's installed.
I'm not sure if when they replaced the arch window, maybe the screwed up the flashing? It was a standard replacement -- they popped the old one out, popped a new one in and caulked/sealed.
I've attached a picture of the window, and you can see some of the black gunk/mold that has accumulated there since I caulked it as a temporary fix.
Any information would be helpful. Thanks!
