Attic Ventilation Installation in Elizabethtown

In addition to keeping us warm, and preventing condensation & mildew in the winter, an adequately insulated and ventilated attic space will reduce the summer heat load in living spaces.

A well ventilated attic will function much like a big shade tree! The general rule of thumb is "one square foot of unobstructed ventilation area for every 300 square feet of ceiling space; no less that 50% of the total inbound through the soffits or gable vents, and no more than 50% outbound via roof or ridge vents. The bird and bug screens can diminish the effectiveness of the vents by as much as 50%, so double this amount.

Give your roof the room it needs to breathe by ensuring that you have the proper amount of intake and exhaust venting for your roof. What's the proper amount? There are actually some industry formulas that will show you the answer, but don't worry. You don't have to get up in your attic or get on your roof. Just call Hackman Roofing and our professional technicians will come to your Pennsylvania home to assess your roof's ventilation.

A properly ventilated roof has air that comes into it from the bottom, usually through soffit vents. That air blows through the attic and exits the roof through vents at the top or the sides of the roof, depending on your home. That flow of air takes heat and moisture out of your roof and leaves it with room to breathe.
