Attic Moisture/Roof vents
Posted: Sun Nov 07, 2010 9:28 pm
I have a 1995 Fairmont that has developed mold/mildew spots on the ceiling of the unit corners, two more prominent than the others. We discovered only one real reason (cut from a fallen limb) for moisture to collect on the ceiling. Another area had water collected in the vapor barrier when we removed the drywall. We did some temporary repair with an asphalt sealant, but plan on a full coating of an elastomeric sealant in spring. Is there some secret in the construction of these units that I'm missing?
I see that this attic is not vented, that I could see, and have noticed a lack roof vents on mobile homes in general. Since I am worried about moisture accumulation, would it be acceptable to add vents to the roof or end peak?
