In Longview's humid climate, poor attic ventilation traps heat and moisture under your roof deck. This trapped moisture can lead to wood rot, mold growth on insulation and framing, and can even cause shingles to deteriorate prematurely from the inside out. Proper ventilation allows hot, moist air to escape, protecting your roof's structure and extending its lifespan.

Common signs in our area include higher-than-normal energy bills, visible mold or mildew in the attic, a musty smell in your home, ice dams in winter (though rare here), or damp or compressed insulation. If you notice any of these, it's crucial to have a professional inspection, as wet insulation loses its R-value and can damage your roof deck.

We start with a thorough attic assessment. For ventilation, we often balance intake (soffit vents) and exhaust (ridge or powered vents) to create a continuous airflow. For insulation, we ensure it's properly installed and dry, recommending solutions like baffles to prevent insulation from blocking soffit vents. The right combination is key to preventing moisture buildup and improving energy efficiency for Longview homes.
