I have used mine to find similar problems that dis end up being from the roof the moisture ran down and showed in the wall. I was sure it was not the roof but it ended up being there. Tracked down in minutes using my camera what I could not find by looking. | |

There are endless possibilities as to where it could be getting in. You best bet would be to bring in a builder or engineer with broad knowledge of what can go wrong, how everything is constructed, and how to diagnose it. Let them play detective. | |
