Water on the Ceiling - What’s the Solution

Hey guys in this one we're going in an attic to investigate water dripping on the ceiling. The maintenance man has already been up there and told me that there's some uninsulated duct work so let's go see what we find. This is going to be this is going to be tight. Where we're going is not even on this part of the house it's over there. They also had a a branch that forgive me I gotta look for a place to step. All right that's where I'm headed over there that hole but this branch right here has no airflow it looks like it's wide open all right we gotta figure out a way to get over there 24 inch centers and i got to straddle this to get over there right so it looks like all the living space is not insulated that right there looks like my water spot i don't see where something's not insulated that's not all they're very good oh my word i really don't want to okay the bottom of that plenum is wet hmm and so that that could use another Panduit strap maybe some tape but honestly i think that soaking wet through here to just to rewrap wrap over the top of that would help this attic is vented and i can imagine it gets really hot up here in a wet spot this is wet all the way to here well i know what it needs it's gonna be difficult to do it but i know what it means you know if that that ceiling was well insulated with this stuff they probably would not even notice that it's wetting it's wet too soaking wet so in the end on that one i recommended short term for them to go in and insulate that room insulate the blow-in insulation or um just take some bags up there and make sure there's insulation on all of the ceiling where there's no insulation that's really the only difference between that room and all the other rooms where the duct work is wet it's dripping down on the insulation and evaporating before it gets to the drywall but in that room there's no insulation there that's really the only difference i did tell them to do that in the short term and i recommended rewrapping on top of the duct on top of the insulation that's there now rewrapping that so we'll see how much gets done the maintenance man really did not want to go back up in the attic but i don't normally insulate attics we'll see what happens thanks for watching i'll catch you on the next one
