Had something similar happen when we switched to stone-coated last year. Installers accidentally squished part of the ridge vent—noticed some condensation after a few rainy weeks. Quick fix once we spotted it, but yeah, worth double-checking vents after install.
Had a similar vent issue myself—installer missed sealing a seam properly, and rainwater got in. Quick fix, thankfully. Did you notice any big difference in attic temps or humidity after you sorted yours out?
Yeah, sealing those seams properly makes a noticeable difference. Had a similar issue a few years back—rainwater was sneaking in through a poorly sealed ridge vent, and I didn't even realize how much moisture was building up until I fixed it. After sorting that out, attic humidity dropped significantly, and temps stabilized better too. Honestly, proper sealing and ventilation are underrated; people focus so much on insulation but forget airflow matters just as much...
You're spot on about ventilation being overlooked. I've seen plenty of roofs with great insulation still struggling because airflow wasn't considered enough. Good catch on the ridge vent—bet that made a huge difference once sorted.
- Good point on ventilation—learned that the hard way myself (attic turned into a sauna, anyone?).
- For metal sheets, local suppliers beat big-box stores on price and quality every time.
- Check salvage yards too...found some gems there once.
