If you're a homeowner in the Charlotte metro area, one of the areas that can be ignored during your new roof installation is making sure that your new roof is properly ventilated.
If this isn't done, over time even the best roofing installation and materials could fail.
The truth is that a new roof needs a continuous flow of outside air in order to ensure that the roofing structure stays in excellent condition over the life of the roof.
When a roof is properly ventilated, there will be an equal balance in the attic between air intake and air exhaust.
Without a consistent flow of air, over time problems with temperature and moisture can arise.
The goal is to ensure to prevent extreme temperature and moisture levels with proper attic insulation.
If this isn't done, you may may experience:
- Higher utility bills
- A build-up of mold and mildew that could threaten the health of everyone in the household
- Damage to siding, wallpaper, and paint
- Ice dams and melting snow that can cause your roof to leak during the winter
- A roof that just won't last as long as it should
