Soffit Ventilation - The Key for Outstanding Roof Ventilation

Soffit Ventilation

The Benefits of Soffit Ventilation
Soffit ventilation allows air to enter from the bottom portion of your roof. The air can then travel upwards to the top of the roof where it is expelled, removing trapped heat and moisture from the attic. It is scientifically proven that properly installing soffit vents creates a dry, cool attic and prolongs the life of your roof. It also prevents the upper floors of your home from overheat during the hot summer months. In winter, it can reduce or eliminate ice-dams from forming at the eaves, saving hundreds or thousands of dollars of damage to your shingles and roof structure.

Soffit Ventilation Inspection
Soffit Vents Help Roof Ventilation Soffit ventilation (intake) only works effectively if an equal amount of ridge ventilation (exhaust) is present.

Brookside Roofing offers a complete soffit and ridge ventilation inspection to ensure that the flow of air in your attic is performing to the 50/50 rule (the ideal ratio of intake and exhaust roof ventilation). Our comprehensive inspection will also reveal the condition of your attic insulation and roof boards, including kitchen, laundry and bathroom ventilation.

Solar roof ventilation is an excellent choice if your roof' structure cannot support adequate ridge exhaust.

Energy-Free Roof Ventilation
New air moves throughout the attic, over the entire length of the attic. Trapped heat and moisture are then released to Roof Ventilation Air Flow give your roof and attic the relief needed to properly function.

50/50
The 50/50 rule receives optimum roof ventilation using the ridge ventilation system: 50% of the intake air-flow starts at the soffit vent area and the other 50% is expelled at the ridge area.

It is crucial that the soffit vents are free of any debris or attic insulation. Contact Brookside Roofing for additional ridge ventilation information.
