Healthy Attics for Healthy Homes

If you’re like most homeowners, your attic is probably the most overlooked area of your home — a storage area you enter maybe once a year at most. While you likely don’t use your attic much on a daily basis, it’s important to understand the critical role your attic plays throughout the year in the health of your roofing system. If you want your home to be in good condition, it’s time to start taking care of your attic too.

Why Your Attic Needs to be Healthy

Your attic plays an important part in keeping your home well-ventilated. Proper ventilation is achieved when hot air is exhausted from your home as cool air is let in. The attic is where this exchange happens. A well-ventilated attic also helps prevent condensation, which can cause mold and mildew issues.

How to Maintain Your Attic

First, schedule roof cleaning and inspection sessions on a regular basis. Make sure that your roofer inspects every component of your roof, including your attic. Have the vents checked and ensure that there is no water damage. Any sign of poor construction or installation should be dealt with right away.

Planning for a Healthy Future

If it’s time to replace your roof, talk to your roofer about ensuring that your new attic will be properly ventilated and insulated. Choose top-quality materials that don’t easily deteriorate when exposed to moisture.
