Summer is moving season, but if you move into a new home in summer, you may have some surprises waiting for you your first winter in the new home. Maybe the house isn’t as well-insulated as it looks, or maybe the roof is prone to ice dam leaks. Some roofs tend to get a lot more ice dams than others.
Attic insulation and ventilation may not sound like important parts of your roof system, but these two features directly affect how your roof functions and performs in a variety of situations. The ventilation and insulation beneath your roof’s surface affect both cold weather performance and hot weather performance, as well as what happens to your roof in high humidity.
