The pitched roof of our house is supposed to be insulated as standard: construction (from outside to inside): tiles – protective membrane underneath – insulation – vapor barrier – small air gap – drywall.
Yesterday, during the autumn storm, I noticed that there is a draft coming through the wall/ceiling outlets for the lamps. Shouldn’t it be completely airtight to the outside because of the vapor barrier behind them?
Should I be concerned, and how high is the risk of mold developing in the insulation? If damage occurs, how would it be repaired? Would the entire drywall in the roof slope/ceiling need to be removed and the membrane resealed?
Thanks for the help.
