Should an ice dam barrier stop rain as well as melting ice. I have a new roof and I noticed water coming in on the inside of the window. The wall was not even wet above the window on the outside.?

Your glass is "sweating," The difference in temps, between inside and out, makes the glass condensate. P-this is most certainly not 'sweat'. The water is pouring in, it goes down the inside of the wall into the basement, dripping on the sill on top of the basement wall. I inspected the roof and found the roofer did not use an ice barrier so driving rain is coming in behind the gutter. Thanks for your time, c247
