I had a new roof installed on my garage 4 years ago and have never had a problem with it until now. I live in Michigan and it has been very cold (in the teens or lower for the past 2-3 weeks). I started up my kerosene heater and ran it for about 10 hours total over 3 days just before all the cold weather hit. Yesterday the outside temperature hit above freezing and when I went out in the garage all of the roof sheeting was soaking wet and it was raining in the garage. There was no snow on the roof so I do not believe the roof leaks. Also, all the sheeting was wet, not just some spots. There is no ceiling or insulation in my garage. I have never had this problem before and I am wondering if the heater had anything to do with it. I have had the heater for 1 year and ran it last year but it was never this cold for so long. Any thoughts on this?
