The basics of ventilation is the flow of air through a system of intake and exhaust. Ventilation is important because it extends the life of your roof, reduces energy costs and reduces indoor temperature extremes. Proper roof ventilation in your attic works by allowing air to flow through the attic, which prevents it from becoming overheated and causing moisture. If you are suspecting damage to your roofing system, your ventilation could be compromised. Ventilation only works when air flows. In order to determine if your home’s ventilation system is working at its highest potential, please call Ideal Precision Roofing to come inspect for free. Our honest professionals will help keep your home cool and protected during the summer, hot months. Roof ventilations are all unique to each home. There are other factors to your roof’s ventilation, such as, code requirements, regional climate and roof and ceiling designs.
Roof vents are important because they can extend the life of your roof, the quality of your roof’s health, reduce energy costs and reduce indoor temperature extremes. They also prevent damage to your shingles and prevent them from blistering or cracking. During the winter months, roof ventilation is easy to see; a healthy roof with good ventilation will still have snow on the roof but no icicles. When the temperature increases outside, your roof’s ventilation system might be at risk. A properly vented roof allows heat to escape, thereby reducing the workload on your air conditioner. Also, if you notice a change in temperature while walking through the home, you might have poorly vented roofs. If you notice this change, call Ideal Precision Roofing to check the system. It’s the only call you will need to make.
