Why is it so important to have proper ventilation on your building? A proper ventilation setup helps prevent condensation, mold, and ice dam formation. Efficient energy use provides sustainability and extends the life of the entire roof system.
In cold regions and winter months, proper ventilation also helps minimize the temperature differential between the attic and the outside air, reducing the risk of moisture buildup which can cause rust and corrosion in metal roofs, insulation damage, and mold/mildew.
