            Your attic is a critical part of your roofing system, and proper attic ventilation is essential for energy efficiency and roof longevity. Solomon Contracting, a trusted St. Louis roofing contractor for over 36 years, offers expert ventilation solutions to optimize your home’s performance.

    ​

    Why Attic Ventilation Matters

               Effective attic ventilation ensures fresh air enters through intake vents at the soffits or eaves and exits via exhaust vents at the roof’s ridge. This balanced airflow maintains consistent temperature and humidity, preventing energy loss and damage year-round.

    ​

    Benefits of Proper Ventilation

    • Energy Efficiency: Poor ventilation traps hot air, forcing AC units to work harder. On a 90°F day, attic temperatures can hit 140°F, raising cooling costs (6% of average utility bills). Proper ventilation expels hot air, reducing energy expenses.

    • Prevent Condensation: In winter, warm air in poorly ventilated attics causes condensation, leading to mold, mildew, and roof deck rot. Balanced ventilation keeps attics dry, protecting air quality and structural integrity.

    • Avoid Ice Dams: Trapped heat creates ice dams by melting and refreezing snow, damaging roofing materials. Proper ventilation maintains uniform attic temperatures, preventing this costly freeze-thaw cycle.

    Achieve Balanced Ventilation

              Balanced attic ventilation requires equal intake and exhaust airflow. Without it, hot or stagnant air lingers, reducing efficiency and causing damage. Our experts ensure vents are strategically placed for optimal circulation.
