Submersible Pond light - leaking or condensation?
Comments (2)I have some submersible-only pond LEDs and once had one of the three go bad. Water somehow made its way into the housing and the light no longer worked. This happened within the first year and I was able to return it and get a substitute. The company claimed that it was very, very unique (to have this type of failure). You might just want to use it and see what happens. Make sure you have the lense cover screwed tight to the housing. Good Luck!...See MoreRoof Leak or Condensation?
Comments (14)where the water stains show on the ceiling aren't always where the roof leaks. for instance if the ridge vent leaks the stain is often lower down on the ceiling as water drains down. I've seen chimney flashing leak & the water stain on the ceiling was several feet lower than where chimney was located. I'm not in a climate where we have to worry about snow, but a thermal scan of the roof would show moisture intrusion into the attic. rather than being sold a bandaid patch, I'd invest in thermal scan (Infra red camera) of roof before settling for something that isn't actually fixing the issue. I'd second inspecting all venting, flashing & vent caps. water dripping from nails can also come from conditioned space air leakage into attic, as well as unvented bath fans. if at all possible hold off until spring to determine what needs to be done. they wouldn't be replacing roof in the snow anyway would they?? its a tough spot to be in...we often have hurricane damage that requires more than insurance pays for. the insurance company just wants to write you a check & move on. they are not worried about addressing the issues as they are about just settling. get opinions/estimates from several roofers. but only roofers who have been in business IN YOUR AREA for several years. La. is still addressing lawsuits from roofers from other states who came here to rip off homeowners. most of these companies take your money do a crap job & then are unavailable when issues re-occur. don't hire fly by night out of state roofers! best of luck....See MoreAir Conditioner Coil Condensation Leaking on Floor
Comments (4)My indoor thermometer shows 48% humidity in the kitchen. I'm sure it's higher in the furnace closet but there are some vents. I'm in California which is much drier than other parts of the country....See MoreMu HVAC is leaking condensation inside. The drain pan is dry as a bone
