This water leak was from the roof overhang. The flashing was missing. The overhang is 16" from the house siding. It traveled into the wall and down to the first floor ceiling. These walls are steel mesh with concrete and then plaster over for the top coat. If this was regular wall board, you might have seen the water leak sooner.The bottom line is about saving money.
