Why You Should Make Sure That Your Attic Is Well Ventilated

Proper attic ventilation plays an important role in making a roof last longer and in preventing costly roof repairs. If you want to make sure that your new roof lasts as long as possible, then you need to make sure that your attic is well-ventilated.

Importance of Attic Ventilation

Proper attic ventilation allows cool and fresh air to enter the attic through the eaves or soffit areas of the roof. Attic ventilation also reduces heat and moisture buildup by allowing hot and moist air to escape through the ridges or other exhaust vents. The presence of hot, humid and moist air in your attic can cause all sorts of problems with your roof.

Benefits of Attic Ventilation

As a roof replacement expert, we highly recommend making sure your attic is well ventilated. Good attic ventilation has a lot of great benefits. It can help reduce damaging moisture in your attic. Excessive moisture in your attic can damage the structure of your roofing system and cause mold to grow. Excessive heat buildup in your attic can also make it harder for your home’s air conditioning to maintain your desired indoor temperature. 

High attic heat can also damage your asphalt shingles. The heat can bake the shingles and cause them to prematurely age. If you want to make sure that your attic is well ventilated, then give us a call. Our roofing experts can inspect your ridge vents and intake vents, and make sure that there is proper airflow in those areas.

Proper attic ventilation will reduce heat and moisture buildup in your attic, greatly reducing the risk of damage to your roof. Good attic ventilation is essential to making sure that your roof lasts its expected service life. You can rely on Superior Roofing for all of your roof repair and other roofing needs.
