Although most people don't think about it too often, ventilation is vital for the comfort of your home. When air gets stagnant, problems are likely to occur. A properly installed roof and attic should have the necessary components for ventilation, but it's better to check your roof ventilation periodically. Especially in the harsh winters and dreadful summers, ventilation is key. Not only is your comfort at risk, so is the structure of your home. During the winters, the snow-buildup on your roof can cause severe damage if your roof isn't ventilated properly. Your roof needs natural air circulation. Without it, this snow can thaw, then refreeze in the gutters, which results in ice dams. It may seem like a minimal process, but a small amount of air circulation can cause the temperatures to be slightly warmer for your roof, which helps prevent these frustrating ice dams.
