Normal household activities can wreak havoc on a roof and attic if proper roof ventilation is not provided. In cold weather, warm air generated by laundry, showers, dish washing and cooking can linger in the house and cause moisture build-up. In the summer, heat build-up encourages premature aging and cracking of wood and roofing materials. Unwanted heat can also transfer back down into living areas, reducing energy efficiency. The only way to combat these problems is with a balanced ventilation system. Abrams can assess existing roofs for needed change and offers the best ventilating solutions for new roofs.
