How Roof Ventilation Can Impact Your House

Improvements and regular check-ups on your roofing ventilation is very important to the health of your roof and the rest of your home. If your home is not properly ventilated, warm air will become trapped in your home, causing issues that could lead to costly damages. Maintaining your roof’s ventilation system is especially important in Texas because of extreme heat and sun exposure. Hot air trapped in your home can make it difficult to keep your home cool. Poor ventilation can also compromise your utilities. Many people don’t correlate the condition of their A/C with the health of their roof, but if you don’t have the proper roof ventilation in place, you could be overworking your air conditioner. On hot summer days when all the hot air is trapped indoors, your A/C is working in overdrive to keep the house cool. This puts stress on your HVAC system, and can shorten the lifespan of the unit. If your A/C has broken down more than once, there’s a good chance you have ventilation problems. Attic temperatures can soar to around 150-degrees in the summer when your attic is not properly ventilated, which can in turn heat up the rest of your home. If your energy bills are very high but your home still isn’t comfortable, you may have inadequate roof ventilation. If you’re noticing any of the signs of poor roof ventilation above, it’s time to make some changes to improve the roof ventilation in your home. Call Ideal Precision Roofing if you suspect any damage or poor roof ventilation.
