What Is Roof Ventilation?
Roof ventilation allows air to circulate through your attic, helping regulate temperature and reduce moisture. A properly ventilated roof lets warm, humid air escape in the summer and prevents condensation and mold buildup in the winter.
At Liberty Roof Co., we make sure every roofing system includes the right ventilation setup for your home’s design and Rhode Island’s unique climate.
Why Roof Ventilation Matters in Rhode Island
New England’s changing seasons put your roof under pressure — from humidity in the summer to ice dams in the winter. Without proper ventilation, your roof can suffer from:
- Excessive heat buildup in the attic, raising cooling costs
- Moisture retention, leading to mold, mildew, and wood rot
- Premature shingle failure caused by trapped heat and condensation
- Ice dams, where warm attic air melts snow that then refreezes at the eaves
Ventilation is especially important when installing new residential roofing or replacing aging materials. It helps protect both the structure and your indoor air quality.
Signs Your Roof Might Not Be Properly Vented
Not sure if your roof has enough ventilation? Watch for these signs:
- Uneven temperatures between floors
- Persistent attic moisture or musty smells
- Ice damming in winter
- Mold or mildew in the attic
- Curling or blistering shingles
