Many people believe the more roof vents you have, the better ventilated your roof and home. While it sounds reasonable, this is not the case. Ventilation is one of the most overlooked parts of your roofing system—especially during Cincinnati’s humid summer months. A proper ventilation ratio is the key to creating an efficient inflow and outflow of hot air, keeping your home nice and cool and your roof in tip-top shape. Read on to learn about the signs your roof is not properly ventilated. 

Summer Symptoms of Poor Roof Ventilation:

  • Hot, stuffy attic even after sunset
  • Skyrocketing AC bills
  • Warped shingles or failing underlayment
  • Moisture buildup leading to mold or mildew

Why It Matters:

  • Trapped heat can shorten your roof’s lifespan
  • High humidity leads to internal rot or mold
  • AC systems must work harder, driving up energy bills
