What are the signs of poor roof ventilation?
How can you spot potential ventilation issues? Watch for these red flags:
- High Attic Temperature: In summer, your attic shouldn’t feel significantly hotter than the outside air. A stifling attic means heat is getting trapped.
- Excessive Frost or Ice Dams: Icicles and ice on your roof edges after a cold spell can indicate poor heat dispersal from your attic.
- Musty Odors: Lingering, damp smells in your attic signal problematic moisture buildup.
- Peeling Interior Paint or Blistering: May indicate moisture is being trapped within your home’s structure, a possible sign of an improperly ventilated roof.
- Premature Roof Aging: Shingles cracking, splitting, or buckling prematurely might mean excessive attic heat is causing degradation.
