With proper ventilation, you can save money on roofing repairs. Good airflow in your roof and attic can also improve your home’s energy efficiency. It can make your living space easier to heat and cool, helping you save on utility costs.
Read on to discover how roof ventilation works and why it matters.
Warm, humid air escapes from your attic through exhaust vents. On the other hand, fresh air enters the area through intake vents. Your roof must have sufficient vents to keep your attic from overheating and retaining too much moisture. Professionals must also place them strategically to generate adequate airflow.
You can determine if you need to improve your roof ventilation by getting an inspection from professionals. At Deschutes Roofing, we will do a thorough assessment to find out if you need more vents in your attic. Do you also need new seamless gutters? If so, our experienced team is here to help.
Various roofing components deteriorate faster when exposed to excessive heat and moisture. By maintaining sufficient airflow in your attic, you can protect your roof from premature wear. In winter, it keeps your attic at moderate temperatures, lowering the risk of ice dams.
Moreover, you won’t need to depend on your HVAC system as much if your attic has proper ventilation. Your indoor air quality will also benefit from a well-ventilated roof and attic. Good airflow can prevent mold and mildew growth, helping keep the air you breathe at home as clean as possible.
