Builder either cut holes for passive roof vents and forgot to install the vents or just said screw it, let’s cut holes in the roof and mesh the suckers. :shock: Needless to say the second floor ceiling was mess and will have to completely gutted out and replaced. Two year old upscale townhome a complete mess.
Someone needs their ***** handed to them on that roofing crew…:mrgreen::mrgreen:
Looks like it wasn’t properly flashed. Other than that it looks like that new roof vent system may work out OK. Has it been patented???:)
That is amazing! Hmmm Don’t they make vents for that??? lol.
Someone should go to jail!!!
What would cause ice daming below a void in the deck but no where else?
Why would anyone try to vent a roof that low anyway? Even if they forgot to install the vent cap, don’t they realize that heat rises and should be vented higher on the roof line?
I will not mention their name, but the builder is known nationwide as a real gem. They left 20 units this way…
I see that technique all the time.
This is part of the green building movement and is meant to have a bucket with a vinyl tube hooked up to the water supply system.
Did you check the bucket for leaks?
Could have been a vent hole for a bath fan? 2nd floor so it probably wouldn’t be a kitchen fan. :shock:
Bob, the only tube that was hooked up was the one attached to the keg on my back during the inspection. :margarit: :lol:
Erol,
I think the roofing crew hit that keg for a looooooooonnnnnnnggggg
time before you strapped it on.
---------:lol:----:lol:
I say sabotage, with a flair (spit), has to be, what else could it be?..way to low for an attic vent----:lol:----:lol:
Maybe they meant to pick up vent flashings to slip in later? Then got paid and forgot? I can’t believe nobody noticed this before. :roll:

Is it at all possible that there was a vent but not nailed in and it slipped out from under shingles?
ah, nope nevermind… this isnt an accident
i just cant fathom this kind of jackassery.
My thoughts as well. That is a lot of condensation freezing to the roof to be passive.
I went back this morning. You know, that gut feeling that tells you to take another look or your in trouble. I took the screen off one opening to find an aluminum channel. Low and behold, they’re both drainage channels for the deck above. Yesterday while on the deck I couldn’t determine how water was draining. This is the craziest thing to date and explains the water stains on a bedroom ceiling below the water slides. :shock:
Most big problems I find are in newer homes. The old ones are fine. :shock:
That tile also looks short.(no overhang)
Talk about ugly.
