Re: Condensation in ceiling/roof area - Again!

This all sounds great, and I agree it is weird that it is just in one area, but it has been well patched, or at least I sure thought so. And the bit about exhaust fans is interesting, except for one thing... WHAT exhaust fan(s)? This home doesn't have any! And isn't that a heck of a good way to run ...

Re: How do you know?

Yep I agree, I don't think you have soft spots - I DO have soft spots - a couple of them - one by my back door (a sliding glass door) which I have repaired, and one next to my front door.

It corresponded to the joint where the outside corner molding (there is no gutter) pieces joined, along with one of the roof seams.

Condensation in ceiling/roof area - Again!

Hello folks :) I know this subject has been discussed before but the threads are now closed so here we go again! I live where it gets snow and ice buildup on roof of my 1978 Governor mobile home. I started getting a "roof" leak about 3 years ago. I have coated my roof, and I even dug open ...
