When we think of roof maintenance, we often think of replacing tiles or fixing a leak. But roofing ventilation is a key aspect of your roof structure which is often ignored. In Florida’s hot and humid climate, it is essential that a Venice homeowner’s roof is properly ventilated, or it could begin to cause real problem. In fact, one of the most important aspects of your roof design is correct ventilation system.
Ventilation is often overlooked is because people assume that the original home builder knew how to properly ventilate the home – and this is true in the case of more recently built homes. However, there have been many situations when the homeowner inadvertently blocks the proper ventilation process, either when dealing with pest control or when putting on a new roof. Here are some factors to consider.
Ventilation cools the attic space, makes your home more energy efficient, prevents rotting of part of the roofing structure, and reduces the risk of fire.
