| Our bay window is suddenly leaking and letting a lot of water into our living room. Is there anything I can do? I tried duct tape but the water is coming in too fast. |

if it is clearly from the window. can you nail a tarp to drape over thw window from above? otherwise, lots of towels that you keep wringing out if you cant catch with a bucket. |

| Try plastic sheeting like your shower curtain. |

| From snowmaggedon, we had some kind of waterproof tape that DH bought. Coupled with plastic sheeting to funnel all water into a bucket, not much else you can do. |

| Similar issue - I have press and seal doing a sub par, but functional job of diverting water away from drywall and into bucket. |

I had a similar issue earlier this year and waterproof tape (and layers of it) worked really well. Can't say that will definitely happen with your window. If its still not working, I'd contact a local replacement windows company for a free consultation.
