Robert Jones Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 This was a prime example of poor ventilation placement. There is mold growth just below where these vents actually breathe.

Brandon Whitmore Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 The sad thing is that there's probably a code compliant amount of ventilation provided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Raymond Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 The plastic skylights didn't give you pause to consider the quality craftsmanship there? No one that cheap is gonna get the vents right. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Jones Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 That is funny. And yes, I was a bit surprised that they didn't address those when the roof was replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msteger Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 That would have looked a lot nicer cosmetically and worked better functionally if they had just installed the proper ridge vent and soffit vents when they replaced the roof.

SamNorwich Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 You think builders used to cut corners, well the last two years of a sucky economy hasn't helped one bit. I have seen everything from 'homemade' vents to no vents at all.

thomop Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 That sounds like a very unhealthy roof space!!![] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
