Proper roof ventilation is critical to the health of your house and it's occupants. Many homeowners don't realize the critical role ventilation plays in protecting their roof from damage, keeping the house free of mold and protecting the overall investment they have made in their home.

The Importance Of Ventilation

 Your home's roof is under constant bombardment from the outside elements. In addition to outside stresses, air from inside the house rises into the attic space, collecting under the roof. In improperly ventilated homes this air can cause damage to the roof and attic structure, pose a health risk, lead to higher utility costs, and even shorten the life span of your roof. In warm climates hot moist air causes wood to rot, mildew buildup, and damages items stored in the attic. Also, air conditioners must work much harder to cool your home if hot air is trapped in the attic. In colder climates frost forms inside the attic, which melts, leading to considerable water damage in the attic and ceilings below.

The Ridge Vent Advantage

House ventilation technology has advanced dramatically over the last few decades, culminating with the development of ridge vents. Instead of using many single vents, a ride vent runs the entire length of your roof, providing even and reliable ventilation. Traditional roof vents are also unattractive, failure and leak prone, and must be expertly placed to provide proper ventilation. Read More about why choosing a Ridge Vent Solution makes sense >>
