Why Proper Attic Ventilation Is Critical To A Roof's Health

At Sela Roofing Company, our team of seasoned roofing experts understand that sometimes a roof's deterioration can have very little to do with the roof structure itself. Most people recognize that severe weather and other external variables can play a major role in the demise of a home's roof. However, many homeowners don't realize a huge contributing factor to a roof's structural integrity is actually contingent upon an interior space within their homes; their attics

Effects of Poor Attic Ventilation on a Home's Roof

Poor attic ventilation can have a number of adverse effects on a home's roof. If left uninspected and untreated, poor attic ventilation can slowly and steadily diminish the roof's strength and structural integrity. While some issues may not be obvious to an untrained eye, there are several issues with poor attic ventilation that even laymen will notice.

Overtime, homeowners may notice that their home isn't maintaining heat and warm air in the winter and cooler air in the summer. They may notice a rise in their utility bills as a result. Additionally, another telltale sign of poor attic ventilation may present in the overall health of the inhabitants inside. Without proper ventilating airflows, mold can accumulate and begin circulating throughout the home. Not only will this eventually cause visual rot on the roof, it can also have an effect on the respiratory systems of those residing inside the home.
