A Guide to Attic Ventilation for Dubois, PA Homes


A balanced attic ventilation system is designed to continuously circulate air, removing super-heated air in the summer and moisture-laden air in the winter. For Dubois, PA homeowners, this is crucial for several reasons.

  • 1. Extends the Lifespan of Your Roof: In the summer, an unventilated attic can get extremely hot, essentially "cooking" your asphalt shingles from the underside. This intense heat can cause the shingles to age prematurely, crack, and fail. Proper ventilation keeps the roof deck cooler, extending the life of your roof.
  • 2. Reduces Energy Costs: A hot attic radiates heat down into your living spaces, making your air conditioner work harder and longer to keep your Dubois, PA home cool. A well-ventilated attic allows this hot air to escape, which can significantly reduce your summer cooling bills.
  • 3. Prevents Moisture Buildup and Mold: In the winter, warm, moist air from your living spaces (from cooking, showers, etc.) rises into the attic. If trapped, this moisture can condense on the cold underside of the roof deck, leading to wood rot, insulation damage, and mold growth. Proper ventilation carries this moist air out before it can cause problems.
  • 4. Prevents Ice Dams in Winter: In colder Dubois, PA climates, a warm attic can melt snow on the roof. This water then runs down to the colder eaves and refreezes, forming a ridge of ice called an "ice dam." Ice dams block proper drainage and can force water back up under your shingles, causing major leaks. A well-ventilated, cool attic keeps the roof deck temperature even, preventing this cycle.

How Does It Work?


A balanced ventilation system requires two types of vents:

  • Intake Vents: Located at the lowest part of the roof (typically in the soffits or eaves), these allow cool, fresh air to enter the attic.
  • Exhaust Vents: Located at the highest point of the roof (like ridge vents or box vents), these allow the hot, moist air to escape.The team at A&C Roofing can assess your current attic ventilation during a roof inspection and recommend improvements to ensure your entire roofing system is protecting your Dubois, PA home effectively.




Frequently Asked Questions


  • My house doesn't have soffit vents. Can you still add ventilation? Yes, there are other types of intake vents that can be installed, and our Dubois, PA team can recommend the best solution for your home's specific design.
  • Will adding vents make my attic colder in the winter? Yes, and that's the goal! A cold, dry attic is a healthy attic in winter. The insulation on your attic floor is what keeps your living space warm.
  • Is a ventilation assessment included with a roof replacement quote? Absolutely. Assessing and ensuring proper ventilation is a key part of our comprehensive roof replacement process in Dubois, PA.
  • Can you add a vent as part of a roof repair? Yes, if we identify poor ventilation as a contributing cause to your roofing issue, we can incorporate the installation of new vents as part of the repair.
