I recently bought a home (slab ranch) in which a vaulted ceiling was added to the master bedroom some time in the past, maybe as long as 12 years ago.
When the new ceiling was added the builder left only enough space (6-inches or so) between the existing roof joists and the new ceiling for the insulation, which takes up all the space. Therefore there is little to no space for air flow. I am looking for suggestions to increase the ventilation in this area. During the early fall mornings when the rook is damp this area tends to stay wet much longer.
My current thought is that I may be able to slide a length of perforated PVC pipe (1 - 1-1/2 inch diameter) between the roof sheeting and the existing insulation. This would extend from the soffit vent to the open area in the attic.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Ray
