Wet Ceiling Above Window

9 years ago

Every winter above one window in my master bedroom a wet spot (rather large) appears when its gets cold and window. Each day i need to wipe the accumulated water from the ceiling.

I am at a loss as to what could be the issue. The window was replaced a few years ago and the roof was replaced about two and a half years ago. I am not sure if the cause is from the roof being replaced or the windows.

Does anyone have an idea who would be best to call to fix something like this?

My problem is similar to something I found posted to this forum a from a few years ago. http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/repair/msg0108074827014.html

Any suggestions?

Probably a roof leak. How cold does it get when the problem starts? Is there any snow and ice? Are there any open attic vents?

if it's just the one window then there's something unique about that location. post some pictures and maybe someone will notice something specific.

is it when it rains/snows or is it condensation?
