Importance of Attic Ventilation & Insulation
Have You Ever Tried To Suck Water Through A Clogged Drinking Straw?
Notice How Difficult It Was And How You Have To Remove The Obstruction? The Same Thing Applies To Your Attic – No Air Flow Means Serious Problems. Improper Air Flow In An Attic WILL lead to:
Ice Dams, Moisture Build Up, Wood Rot, Mold & Mildew, Damage To Both The Interior And Exterior Of Your Roof “Cooked” Shingles.
No amount of insulation can fix these problems. Bottom line, you have to have proper ventilation. The ventilation of a home must be in balance. You must balance intake with exhaust, otherwise they compete with one another and you have no air flow. No airflow means serious problems.
