When You Have Roof Ventilation Problems We Have the Solutions
Proper roof ventilation is one of the more complex aspects of roofing construction that takes the attic space below into consideration. Roof ventilation and attic ventilation go hand-in-hand to create a system that keeps air flowing, temperatures regulated and moisture under control.
When a roof isn't allowed to "breathe" with proper ventilation, it can result in significant damage.
Worried poor roof ventilation or attic ventilation is harming your roofing system? Contact LOA for a free roof inspection to evaluate your roof and attic ventilation system.
Signs of Poor Roof Ventilation
The signs of poor ventilation that are caused by inadequate roof vents and attic insulation will show up both inside and outside of the structure. It may take a few seasons for the effects of poor roof ventilation to start showing, but when they do they're hard to miss.
Ice Dams Forming on the Roof
If some parts of the roof are warmer and some areas are colder it's the perfect condition for ice dams. An ice dam can form when snow melts on the roof but then refreezes before draining off creating a portion of ice that blocks further drainage.Mold Growth on the Roofing Materials and in the Attic
Mold is always a sign of moisture since it requires moisture to grow. When there are improper roof ventilation problems the swings in hot air and cold air can cause moisture to build up and create the conditions for mold growth on the roof and in the attic.Higher Energy Costs
Poor ventilation that's related to improper insulation is going to have an impact on energy bills. You may notice your heating and cooling costs going up because poor attic ventilation will damage the existing insulation making energy efficiency worse.Shorter Shingle Life
When a roof isn't properly ventilated warm air can get trapped and those spots can get excessively hot. The heat in those spots can cause shingles to curl or warp. When this happens it causes damage that shortens the shingle life.Excessive Moisture Buildup
Ventilation is extremely important in keeping moisture under control by helping to keep air moving and keep the temperature uniform. When the roofing ventilation system is lacking, excessive moisture can show up as:- Roof leaks
- Condensation
- Water stains
- Peeling paint
- Damp insulation
- Roof decking damage
- Rusty flashing and fasteners
If any of these are seen you need to find the cause immediately. Moisture problems will only get worse if they aren't addressed, and you'll have even more costly repairs.Product Defects
In some cases, roof blistering is the result of poorly made roofing materials. This can be the case if there's premature deterioration anywhere in the membrane. Asphalt shingle blisters could also be the result of trapped moisture or trapped air that happened during the manufacturing process.

Problems Caused by Poor Roof Ventilation and Improper Attic Ventilation
The biggest problems related to poor attic ventilation that doesn't regulate the flow of warm air and cool air is excess moisture that creates water damage. Even if you live in an area where you don't have to worry about issues like ice dams, moisture that damages the insulation and roofing materials is still a problem.
A build up of moisture can cause everything from mold that can be removed with specialized cleaning agents to significantly shortening the lifespan.
Good attic ventilation involves a system of vents that are placed correctly for the size and shape of the roof. It's just one more reason why working with an experienced roofing contractor is essential.
