Generally speaking, roofing systems have attics and vents that assist with ventilation. It’s also found below your eaves. However, some homeowners might not know if they have sufficient ventilation or not. This is why they may encounter serious issues like roof blisters, uncomfortably hot living spaces and high energy bills.

Functions of Roof Vents

Roof vents come in two forms: intake and exhaust vents. The intake vent can be spotted near the soffits and eaves, which draws in clean, fresh air into your crawl space. The exhaust vents can be found near the ridge or other elevated points of your roof that allows hot and humid air to escape freely. The intake and exhaust vents work in tandem to ensure your attic has proper circulation and ventilation, keeping your home’s temperature levels normal. In turn, it makes your home energy-efficient and comfortable.
