On a winter morning in Corvallis, Oregon, homeowner Debbie Palmer noticed a new stain on the carpet and realized the roof had serious condensation issues – stained black water was dripping from the ceiling.
“When a contractor cut a hole through to install bath vents last winter, everything was so sodden he could literally squeeze water out of the insulation”, said Debbie.
This solid cedar log home built in 1984 with beautiful existing cedar tongue & groove ceilings that they wanted to keep intact, but the roof assembly needed a fresh new layer of insulation with proper vapor control, airtightness, and waterproofing.
