Believe it. I repair cracks in stucco every spring but missed one year. Milton and Helene drove rain through a bedroom wall and soaked the carpet. An evaluation from a restoration company determined it was not from the roof or soffits. Pulled up carpet revealed a crack in the floor where the water entered (no other evidence of foundation damage such as uneven floor). I repaired the stucco and floor cracks and let the carpet dry out. Repainted the entire outside to help protect against the weather. I’m more diligent about keeping ahead of repairs.
