Mobile is one of the hottest, most humid cities in the United States — and we get hammered with tropical storms, heavy rain, and moisture that hangs in the air like a wet blanket.

Inside your home, that moisture migrates upward.
Human breathing, shower steam, cooking, laundry — it creates a ton of water vapor.

One person breathes out 3 pints of water a day.
A family of four?
Up to 1.5 gallons of moisture every 24 hours.

Without a properly designed ventilation system, that moisture doesn’t escape.
It collects in your attic, where it can:

• Grow mold
   
• Rot your roof deck
   
• Damage insulation
   
• Trigger respiratory issues
   
• Cause shingle adhesive failure
   
• Create “cold spots” and condensation
   
• Increase humidity in the home
   

Mobile homes see this more than almost any other region because our climate makes moisture problems develop fast.

We don’t guess.
We don’t “slap a ridge vent on and hope for the best.”

Every attic ventilation project starts with:

Most “roofers” cannot diagnose or modify ventilation involving structural or mechanical components.
That requires the license we hold — and most crews in Mobile absolutely do not have.

You’d be surprised where we find moisture building up in Mobile attics:

This is extremely common. Contractors “cut corners” by dumping humidity into the attic instead of venting it through the roof.

Massive fire hazard.

Painted shut, insulation blocking airflow, or bird nests.

Improper mixed ventilation creates airflow conflicts.

You need intake + exhaust or nothing works.

When we say ventilation is a “system,” we mean it.
If the intake is wrong, the exhaust can’t help you.
If the exhaust is wrong, the intake can’t do its job.

We fix the whole system — permanently.

Here’s what we see every week when inspecting homes from Schillinger Road to Dauphin Island Parkway:

• Rooms that are hot even when the AC runs
   
• Musty smells in closets or around the attic hatch
   
• Roof decking discoloration
   
• Mold on rafters or insulation
   
• High electric bills (especially summer)
   
• Peeling paint on ceilings
   
• Darkened or “sweaty” nails in the attic
   
• Condensation on HVAC ducts
   
• Insulation that looks damp or clumped
   

These aren’t “minor issues.”
These are early signs of expensive future repairs — and perfectly preventable ones.

The Environmental Protection Agency says the average person spends 90% of life indoors.

Mold spores, moisture, and poor ventilation can cause:

• Chronic headaches
   
• Coughing / wheezing
   
• Eye & throat irritation
   
• Allergy flare-ups
   
• Respiratory illness
   
• Aggravated asthma
   

If mold begins growing in your attic, those spores don’t stay put.
They drift into your home — into your bedrooms, your family room, your kids’ play areas.

Ventilation isn’t just about roofs.
It’s about the air your family breathes.

Mobile homeowners often assume the appliances were vented correctly by whoever built the house.

Unfortunately… many weren’t.

A hot shower releases nearly a pint of water into the air. If that vent dumps into the attic, your wood, insulation, and air quality take the hit.

Dryer vents must be short, direct, and roof-vented with a proper appliance cap.

A clogged or poorly-routed dryer vent:

• Increases fire risk
   
• Reduces appliance lifespan
   
• Dumps hot, moist air into the attic
   
• Causes severe mold issues
   

Kitchen exhaust should never:

• End inside a wall
   
• Dump into an attic
   
• Vent sideways into soffits
   

That steam carries grease, moisture, and heat — all bad news for wood and insulation.

We install GAF Master Flow™ dryer, bath, and appliance roof vents — engineered specifically to move air efficiently and withstand Mobile’s coastal weather.
