Hello to all -

I am trying to figure out how to solve an old water leak along
the back of my house. It shows up along the ceiling seam on the back
wall, directly under the sliding glass door on the floor above.
I have tried eveything I can think of to find & solve the
leak. Checked the door, the chaulking, the fixtures on the wall
outside, the gutters... and I give up.
So, who/what type of service person is best suited to 1) FIND
the stupid leak, and then 2) FIX the stupid thing.
A home inspector was suggested, or a water-proofing company.
Not sure the inspector would be right, and I think of a water-proofing
company for structural/foundation problems. Am I worng?
And if anyone knows of someone good in the NoVa/DC area, all
the better.
Suggestions? TIA...

I'd suggest a forensic engineer or architect.
Water infiltration is difficult to trace and to repair.
