The Importance of Proper Attic Ventilation

Don’t underestimate the importance of proper attic ventilation. While shingles are the most highly visible part of your roof, ventilation is a critical component to your roofing system. A properly installed roofing system also depends on attic ventilation. Ventilation, which balances air intake and exhaust in your attic, is what allows your home to breathe. It disperses the moisture that can lead to deck rot, ice dams and mold and mildew – not to mention less-than-comfortable conditions inside your home.
