I've just found I have water damage in my roof around the Mushroom vent. Two Mushroom vents and two lots of water damage both around each vent. Very disappointing considering my Cougar MLS is 2022 model. I noticed water damage in the bedroom ceiling as the ceiling material had gone soft and deformed. I removed an AC air vent in the ceiling and cleared away the insulation and could immediately feel the wetness and after taking out some ducting could see the wet roof timber and ceiling material all around the Mushroom vent.
It seems to me that rain water gets blown up through the vent and into the ceiling cavity where it just sits rotting the roof timber panelling and the ceiling panelling with no drainage.
I have taped up the mushroom vents as a temporary solution and now are drying out the ceiling cavities.
Hopefully the roof panelling timber is not terminally damaged.
My initial thoughts is to remove the Mushroom vents permanently and patch the holes.
Any feedback and solutions and has anyone else discovered this issue.
