Why Is Attic Ventilation Important?

PROPER ATTIC VENTILATION protects against many troublesome home problems, making your house more comfortable indoors. It protects your roof against damaging moisture problems, including:

• Moisture variations that can warp roof decking
• Mold growth
• Frost
• Wood rot
• Popped shingles
• Ice dams

In the winter, heat in your home rises – to the attic. With it comes moisture. When attics are not well ventilated, moisture collects in this area of the home. This moisture can seep into the structure of your home, affecting roofing materials as well as the framing and contents of your attic.

Adequate attic ventilation allows cool, dry air from outside to come into the attic, while warm, moist air inside the attic can escape. Good attic VENTILATION helps keep temperatures even, preventing hot and cold spots that cause damaging ice dams where water can back up and freeze beneath your shingles.

Proper attic ventilation in winter prevents mold and mildew growth, safeguarding your family against these harmful contaminants. Eliminating moisture problems through attic ventilation works to improve indoor air quality. It also prevents the warm, damp, and dark environment that pests love, keeping rodents and insects from nesting in your attic.
