Let Your Attic Breathe

Proper attic ventilation is essential to get the longest life from roofing materials, prevent leaks and wood damage and minimize cooling and heating costs.

Consequences of poor ventilation include:

Rotting of the wood structure.

Wet insulation due to condensation.

Blistered, distorted, curled shingles.

Buckled roof deck.

Leaks due to ice dams.

Concern over energy conservation has resulted in tighter houses that trap more heat and moisture.

This makes attic ventilation even more important to eliminate any buildup of warm, wet air under the roof deck.

Fortunately, a variety of inexpensive roof vents can be easily installed to rectify ventilation problems.
