What causes inadequate roof ventilation?
Unbalanced or blocked intake and exhaust ventilation traps heat and moisture in the attic, common across Minnesota housing eras.
What we check
We assess intake (soffit) and exhaust (ridge/box) ventilation balance and look for blocked baffles.
Why it matters
Poor ventilation drives ice dams, attic condensation, and premature roof aging in our climate.
