Question:

Wet spots on ceiling in top floor?

We purchased a townhouseWe noticed on our very first walk through that there was a wet spot in one of the kids bedroomAsk the builder he told us just wet putty so we let it goSo a few months went by and the spot stayed wet and got bigger.Call the builder back they told us well the shingles was bad they will replace them and they didFew more months went by started to noticed more spots all over the placeSo I called the builder back I also called a few building engineers that told us our AC unit was not working and we have mold in the atticThe builder came out replaced all the insulation and told us it was all fixed and that was all they were going to doI called several roofers they told me you need to replace soffit vents so I called and paid someone to do itWell here it is 4 years latter and the problem still there and looks like it is getting worse.

Answer:

Virtually every bike frame made is handbuiltYour bike is just a low end, run-of-the-mill model, but I'm glad you are enjoying itActually, $100 is too muchYou might want to start there but should accept $50 in a heartbeat.
This is nothing more than a standard run of the mill mass produced bikeIf this was a bike from a custom bike/frame builder that was made to order it would be differentSorry but $100 is on the high side.
This Site Might Help YouRE: should a quot;HAND MADE 7005 ALUMINUM FRAMEquot; mountain bike cost more? well i have a mountain bike and its a Pacific brand its pretty awesome; but i just noticed on the bottom bar frame thingy; it says quot;HAND MADE 7005 ALUMINUM FRAMEquot; on a sticker, and im selling the bike for like 100 dollarsshould it be more?
Solve this by a process of elimination1If these leaks/spots are noticed more in hot weather, I would think you have some ductwork that is either not insulated or a spot or two has insulation pulled away from the ductpipeCondesation forms when hot attic air hits the much cooler ductwork2You may have ridge vent at the peak of your roofSometimes when ridge vent is used along with soffit or gable ventsSome rain can blow in the ridge vent - see if spots are right in line with the ridge portion of your roof3Bath fan may have flex pipe that has a hole in itIf these flex pipes are not covered up with attic insulation you can get condensation in them and then if they even have a small hole in the flex pipe it can leak out of these small holes and drip onto the ceiling from the attic4You may have some plain old roof vents that were not flashed properly and leak5A long shot is for some reason you have a water pipe that was ran above the ceiling - don't think so but stranger things have happenedThis colder water when hit by hot attic air will also condensate6You may have an air handler (a/c coil and drip pan) in your atticDrip pan could be plugged up and overflowingCheck each item and I'm sure you will find the problemGood Luck
