Ok, here is a new one I have never heard of. Maybe someone has a little info.
Facts:
Sloped vaulted ceiling 6/12 pitch, We installed ICAT cans and at the home owners request installed r30 CFL's. Contractor did a roof tear off and installed new plywood in different sections and a copmplete new 30 year roof.
Customer says "that these lights are causing water to seep in through the roof at the light locations".
This is a 2*10 ceiling structure so there is not much insulation if ay over the top of the light cans. They are double insulated being ICAT cans.
In my opinion, even if there is a little heat loss the roof should not allow any water to seep through. In twenty years of experience this is the first I ever heard of.
Any opinions or related data? Please, I would love to get to the bottom of this.
Thanks
