Many homeowners know that attic and roof ventilation is important, but do not really know why. The right amount of ventilation will help regulate moisture levels and allow heat to escape when needed. When this is inhibited, a number of problems can occur. One of the best ways to know if your roof system is working properly is to get an inspection from a local Springdale roofing repair service.
Mildew
One of the most prevalent issues that Springdale roofer finds in homes that have poor ventilation is mold and mildew. This particularly happens in the winter when the hot air from inside your house rises up and meets with the cold air in the attic. This is how condensation builds up and is a breeding ground for mold and mildew which is not something you want lurking in your home!
Roof Damage
The trapped moisture in your attic that creates mildew will also cause the following problems on your roof:
- The wood decking will rot and warp
- Shingles will split, crack and warp
- Rust formation
- Ice dams
These issues (especially ice-damming) and more can eventually lead to water making its way into your home and your roof can begin to sag from the additional water weight. As one of the top Springdale roofers in the area, we are here to help you identify and repair any problems your roof is facing.
