Roof Ventilation
Proper ventilation is key to the lifespan, warranty and function of your new roof.
Why is Adequate Roof Ventilation Important?
It is also important to note that poor attic ventilation can even invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty on your shingles. Attic ventilation requirements are usually stipulated in a roofing system manufacturer’s warranty, and proper ventilation should be documented at the time of roofing installation.
What is Proper Ventilation
Improving your attic ventilation
- Make sure soffit intake vents are free from obstruction.
- Ensure you have enough soffit vents to create adequate air flow.
- Inspect power ventilators to make sure they are working properly.
- Inspect ridge vents for signs that rain is leaking or being sucked in through the ridge vent.
