The Importance of Good Roof Ventilation

- Extend the life of your home's structure
- Prevent water infiltration and ice buildup
- Avoid mould and mildew problems
- Reduce your heating and air conditioning costs
EFFECTIVE YEAR-ROUND
Roof Ventilation in Winter: Prevent Moisture and Condensation
During the cold season, the air inside your home is warmer and contains more moisture than the cold air in the attic. Without proper ventilation, this water vapour travels through the ceilings and insulation and condenses in your attic.
Problems Caused by Poor Roof Ventilation in Winter:
- Condensation on the Roof Structure: Water vapour condenses on contact with cold rafters, trusses, and underlayment
- Compression of Insulation: Moisture reduces the "R" value of your insulation and accelerates heat loss
- Structural Damage: Moisture buildup leads to mould, rot, and ice dams
- Deterioration of Asphalt Shingles: Repeated freezing and thawing prematurely damages your roof
Roof Ventilation in Summer: Reduce Accumulated Heat
In summer, heat trapped in the attic overheats your home and damages your roof. An effective ventilation system installed by our certified roofers eliminates excessive heat and extends the life of your asphalt shingles.
Problems Caused by Poor Roof Ventilation in Summer:
- Overheating Rooms: Upstairs bedrooms become uncomfortable and your air conditioner runs constantly
- High Energy Costs: Excessive heat increases your air conditioning bills
- Damage to Asphalt Shingles: Exudation, shingle curling, and deck warping reduce the life of your roof
- Premature Aging: Extreme heat rapidly deteriorates roofing materials
