Keep Your Attic Dry and Safe With Our 24/7 Quality Ventilation Solutions!
Maintaining a comfortable home throughout the year relies heavily on proper attic ventilation. Attic ventilation comprises both an air intake and exhaust system. This means when your attic starts getting hot and humid air, the ventilation provides an escape while bringing in fresh air.
This process helps circulate air and control the temperature in your home. As a result, you can save money on your air conditioning bills and protect your home from potential issues. If you’re interested in saving money and keeping your home in great condition, it’s time to reach out to Batterbee’s attic ventilation contractors.

Poor Attic Ventilation Indications
The attic isn’t like a kitchen or living room—you’re probably not going to use it every day. But this can cause problems and issues with your attic ventilation may be missed.
If you are not sure if your attic is properly ventilated, look for these indications:
- Mold growth in your attic
- Degrading insulation
- Skyrocketing energy bills
- The air conditioner is working noticeably harder
- Deformation of shingles (curling, buckling, sagging, loose, etc)
- Flashing has become more visible
Why Attic Ventilation is Important
The attic is typically hidden away from sight, but this area’s ventilation plays a crucial role in your home’s comfortability. From the HVAC to the rooftop, proper attic ventilation supports it all. Having your attic ventilation inspected and upgraded helps:
Attic ventilation expels hot and humid air from your home. Without it, the continued buildup of hot air can lead to issues, such as broken shingles. While unlikely in Florida, ventilation helps prevent any ice or snow from melting and re-freezing into damaging ice dams.
When humid air is left unventilated, it causes the moisture in your attic to steadily rise. This creates the perfect environment for mold growth along with causing damage such as moisture staining on your ceilings.
Proper attic ventilation keeps your home’s temperature at a more manageable level. Without excessive heat, your air conditioning unit doesn’t have to use more energy to maintain a comfortable temperature.
Improperly ventilated hot air can directly affect the materials that make up your home’s foundation. Too much heat can cause materials like wood to warp and break.

Attic Ventilation FAQs
Attic ventilation circulates hot, humid air that builds up within the area. The ventilation uses an intake and exhaust system to help push out the humid air and replace it with fresh air from the outdoors. Without ventilation, the buildup of heat can drastically affect the comfort and structure of your home.
Proper ventilation helps to eliminate hot air that gets stuck in your attic. By doing so, your home’s temperature stays at a more manageable level. This means your AC won’t work as hard, reducing your energy bill. This also reduces moisture levels, preventing the growth of mold.
The minimum requirement is at least 1 square foot of ventilation for every 150 square feet of your attic floor. In the case that your home uses rigid/intake ventilation, then you’ll need 1 square foot for every 300 square feet.
Your roof pitch won’t have any direct effects on your ventilation. It is worth noting that, typically, a steeper roof may require additional ventilation for proper airflow.
Your ventilation should be balanced, which means that both your intake and exhaust should be split equally.
Rain can reach your ventilation. If you notice visible water or dripping from the vents, it may be wise to apply a cover or barrier. Choose something that will not obstruct the airflow, such as metal screen wire. Also, apply a roof sealant to fill any leaks or breaks outside the vent to prevent any other liquid from seeping through.
Your attic should be properly insulated, but make sure that the insulation does not cover any of the vents as this can obstruct proper airflow.
