| worried about mold OK, I started a project to reshingle my roof and I've got a problem. I had the old shingles tore off and had an issues with a sag in the roof. Fixed the sag and had 90% of the new sheeting on when it started to rain. I hurried to get the rest of the sheeting put on and ran down to the supply store and quickly purchased some poly and covered the roof. A small area of the roof was exposed to the rain for about 30 minutes without sheeting. And the rest was exposed for about 90 minutes while I ran to the store and by the time I got it sealed. It's still raining and no new water is coming in, but I've got some pretty good size leaks in the drywall from when the water that got in before I could get the poly on. Half of the house is blown insulation and the other half is the rolled out fiberglass stuff. My main question is when I should put the shingles on. Should I pull the plastic off after it starts to rain and wait a few days for it to air out...will it air out with the sheeting and everything on? Or is it a waste of time, and I should just put the shingles on as soon as the sheeting looks dry? How easily does mold form in the insulation? Do I need to pull the sheeting off, and the insulation out? What can I do to prevent mold? Many questions..sorry. Thanks in advance!! Last edited by drhodes; 11-03-09 at 07:14 PM.
