Whether you are renovating your existing home or constructing a new home or building, you need to be very careful when it comes to selecting roofing materials and a contractor to work on your roof. One wrong move can cost you, especially in matters concerning ventilation.
In this post, Royal Roofing Construction discusses common negative effects that you might encounter in your commercial or residential roofing system if your contractor failed to install proper ventilation.
Condensation
Water is the number one enemy of your roof, and one of the ways water can penetrate into your home is through the process of condensation. Differences in indoor and outdoor temperatures can lead to condensation, rotting the exposed wood over time.
Pests
Poor ventilation that results in condensation leads to more serious problems by attracting unwanted pests. Pests that make their home in your roof can weaken the system, leading to serious damage.
Rust
If your residential or commercial roofing system is made of metal, it is prone to rust once condensation occurs. Corroded metals result in water leakage.
Thermal Shock
If your roof lacks good ventilation, thermal shock could occur. The extreme heat that occurs outside can cause shingles to deteriorate quickly.
