Heat Rises. Rising heat will get trapped in the attic if proper ventilation is not in place. Attic ventilation includes:
- Fans (Roof, Gable, Whole House)
- Vents (Soffit, Peak, Roof or Ridge)
- Windows
Excessive heat, without ventilation, can lead to mold or delaminated sheathing.
SOLUTIONS:
Manual Solutions – Open the windows periodically for ventilation. Clear clutter or blockage from vents.
Unassisted Solutions – Add vent or fan. Attic fans with a thermostat & humidistat help eliminate damaging moisture & heat.
