is it possible that there may have been ice damming ?

I feel bad for you

good luck with whatever path you decide upon to start the repairs

thanks for the advice gentlemen jim , my fellow canuck -the shingles we're done in 2004 and they are in very good shape after I inspected the roof before buying the place in 06 .former owner kept all receipts and the job was done by one of the better contractors in town so cant imagine he'd forget t...

p.s -might look into this next winter but I'm not sure it would have the moxy to handle a northern canada ice buildup

this is sort of a continuation of this thread I started back in dec -I've reasoned it down to having to be ice damming up the water thats trying to move downward but is heading back under the shingle and finding a way down my walls /celiling https://www.mobilehomerepair.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=458...

hey troy , sucks eh ? the weather has been so weird this winter here in northern ontario my dad and I (he's 74 and in better shape than me)went up on the roof on boxing day and shovelled off all the snow because the temps were to go up to +10 celcius on the 27th accompanied with heavy rain and wind ...

The other thing that may help is to remove any snow from the area with a roof rake if you haven't already. Greg dang , I had one of those at my past residence and the buyer asked me if I could let him have it as part of the sale I have 3-4 days off now so I'll probably get my butt up on the roof an...

Could also be condensation......... if there isn't adequate insulation between the ceiling and roof, or a draft causing frost buildup like you speak of......... Later! I'd like to think thats what is happening condensation turining into frost on the inner roof melting now that its warmed up to 0 ce...

well, I wont really be able to do anything about any loose shingles until the spring if thats the case -however , like I say -the shingles are in great shape I have a gut feeling theres just some frost build up on the underside of the roof (between the ceiling /roof)which is melting after being extr...

I grew up in mobile homes and now live in one as an adult so these ceiling stains are nothing new to me -but I'm still a little concerned every morning theres a new batch of these stains .at first , there was one or two but there are now around 8 of them in the living room in just a matter of 5-6 da...

thanks robert nothing out of the ordinary on the breaker panel aside from the dedicated breakers for the baseboard heaters (4 ft / 8 ft) the electric forced air furnace,dryer,oven all have their own breaker(s)like a typical mobile home and theres still alot of open breaker slots unused I suppose wor...

absolutely on its own breaker and was installed by an electrician

the former owner of my sw had an 8 foot baseboard heater in the kitchen and a 4 ft in the bathroom --both hard wired by an electrician directly to the 200 amp box he told us he installed them as a backup in case the electric forced air furnace ever went out on him he'd at least be able to keep reaso...

can our mobile homes support the extra weight of the insulated siding ? I'm probably 5-7 years away from wanting to get new windows /siding job done my biggest worry is the contractor coming across unforseen problems like mold/dry rot p.s --good luck with your siding job beth -please post some befor...

just curious why you didnt simply vent striaght out the back of the trailor (pretty sure the picture provided displayed the back of the dryer facing the back wall of the trailer )

hello -fellow canuck here from northern ontario . I dont think we can ever get away from cold floors , but there are a few things you can do that might help be a little less cold is it possible for you to insulate your'e skirting with styro foam insulation ? also , are your crawl space vents closed ...
