Top 4 Reasons Ventilation is Important in a Roof Installation
In roof installations, it is not enough that your contractor knows how to install the materials properly to ensure that your roofing system is fully functional. This is essential even if you live in a place like Delaware with mild climate. Here are some of the reasons why ventilation is important for your
• Prolongs your roof’s life span. Having proper ventilation in your attic can reduce the risk of heat build-up that can literally bake shingles from the inside and cause them to prematurely detach from your roof. Furthermore, if your attic isn’t properly ventilated, heat can melt snow and cause ice dams.
• Reduces moisture. Molds and mildew can compromise your roof’s integrity and cause structural failure. When your roof is properly ventilated, it prevents excessive moisture that cause rotting and bacteria growth.
• Promotes energy efficiency. Ventilation makes heating and cooling costs more manageable. If there is heat buildup in your attic, it requires more power consumption, which results in higher bills. When your roof is damaged, it will also be harder to stay warm in the winter because cool wind leaks inside your home.
• Ensures warranty’s validity. Roofing warranties can be nullified if a residence is under insulated. This is because proper ventilation prevents your roof getting temperature-related damage.
