Roof Ventilation in Post Falls, Idaho

Roof Ventilation in Post Falls means roofing built for the Idaho climate - the heat, the humidity, and the storms. The Idaho humidity and the severe storm remnants test every roof, and the sagebrush and pine debris covers the surface.

Signs Your Post Falls Roof Needs Roof Ventilation

• High cooling bills in the summer - the hot attic is working against the AC
• Hot upstairs rooms - the heat is radiating down from the attic
• Curled or buckled shingles - the heat is cooking the roof from below
• Condensation in the attic - the moisture is trapped
• Mold or mildew in the attic - the poor airflow is breeding the moisture

Why Post Falls Roofs Need Roof Ventilation

The heat is the main reason. The Idaho sun heats the roof and the attic traps the heat. The trapped heat cooks the shingles from below.

The cooling costs are the second reason. The hot attic radiates the heat into the living space.

How We Do Roof Ventilation in Post Falls

1. Inspect the attic - check the current ventilation and the airflow
2. Plan the system - the intake and the exhaust balance
3. Install the ridge vent - the vent along the roof peak
4. Install the soffit vents - the intake vents under the eaves
5. Balance the system - the intake and the exhaust for the proper airflow

Preventing Problems in Post Falls

• Balance the intake and the exhaust - the proper airflow needs both
• Check the soffit vents are clear - the insulation can block the intake
• Use the solar attic fan - the fan runs on the sun and costs nothing to run
• Check the baffles - the baffles keep the insulation out of the airflow

In Post Falls, the roof ventilation is the key to the roof life. The ridge vent and the soffit vents remove the trapped heat and protect the shingles from the bottom. The attic temperature drops and the cooling bills follow.
