Why Attic Ventilation Matters
When it comes to maintaining a healthy roof, many homeowners overlook the crucial role that proper attic ventilation plays. At CML Roofing and Contracting, we understand that a well-ventilated attic is essential for preserving your roof’s integrity and extending its lifespan.
Benefits of Proper Attic Ventilation
1. Moisture Control: Adequate ventilation helps prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to mold growth and wood rot.
2. Temperature Regulation: It keeps your attic cooler in summer and warmer in winter, reducing energy costs.
3. Ice Dam Prevention: Proper airflow helps minimize the formation of ice dams during harsh Maine winters.
4. Shingle Protection: It extends the life of your shingles by preventing excessive heat buildup.
Signs of Poor Attic Ventilation
If you notice any of these issues, it may be time to contact a professional roofer:
– Excessive heat in the attic during summer
– Frost accumulation on the underside of the roof deck in winter
– Peeling paint or wallpaper inside your home
– Warped or cupped shingles
