It sounds like you need ventilation.	Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 3/28/2009	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/13008/find/
How does one provide for that ventilation? I am experiencing the same issue. I have a mobile home with a tin roof (non-pitch - built in 1982). The pitch roof was built over the top of the existing roof - my ceilings were leaking, so I took down the ceiling and the insulation. The inside tin beaded up significantly with large droplets of moisture - the top of the 'old'roof was completely dry! This occurred during the Winter months in Central New York. Thank-you for any assistance you can provide.	Guest User 6/2/2009	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/13009/find/
You will need to build a new roof over the old roof and then vent the resulting chamber with soffit vents and ridge vent I believe.	Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 6/4/2009	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/13010/find/
If ridge an soffit vents are not viable, then gable vents with adequate powered exhaust ventilation should do the trick.	Aaron Scurlock The Best in Polymer Roofing Soutions 8/25/2009	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/13011/find/
