Ventilation

Roof ventilation is absolutely essential for a long lasting roof. The buildup of moist air in any part of a roofing system will lead to condensation and water damage over time. The flow of air around structural roof members is vital for keeping moist air away from where it can do damage to the roof. Whether your building has a flat roof or steep slope roof, Raincoat Roofers utilizes its 30 years of experience to provide comprehensive roof ventilation services.

Steep Slope Roof Ventilation

Steep slope roof ventilation is best achieved with a combination of venting at the roof's edges and either ridge of gravity ventilators at the roof's ridge. This creates a nice path for air to flow by taking advantage of the chimney affect of warm air rushing through the roofing structure. If moisture buildup is occurring in a steep slope roof, we will inspect your ventilation system and determine the best way to modify the system to achieve air movement.

Flat Roof Ventilation

Flat roof ventilation can be more tricky, a flat roof cannot take advantage of the chimney affect to move air. In these instances, Raincoat Roofing has a number of methods for effective flat roof ventilation.

Some possible solutions include:

• Vapor retarders to minimize interior moisture.
• Blocking the roof deck slightly above the top of the joists to create room for air flow.
• Ventilating individual joist cavities that are creating the worst moisture problems.
