Roof Ventilation

Roof and attic ventilation are a vital part of making a roof last. It occurs on its own when vents are properly positioned. Vents should be at the base of your roof (at the eaves or in the soffits) and near the top of the roof (the ridge). This way warm air can exit through the top and cool air can be lured to the bottom of your home. Warm air naturally rises. This means no mechanical processes are needed to create this type of air movement. The right type of ventilation will regulate the temperature in your home and moisture levels in the attic. If you leave these matters unchecked, heat and moisture can build up causing damage to rafters, sheathing, shingles, insulation, and raising your energy costs. These issues can lead to horrible mold and mildew. To avoid any sudden roof damage issues and costly roof repairs in Middleburg, check out roofer911.
