Roof ventilation work in Excelsior Springs

Ventilation needs a path for air to enter low on the roof and leave higher up. Adding an exhaust vent without a usable intake path does not establish that flow. A reroof is a useful time to look at the arrangement because changes to ridge and roof penetrations can be planned with the covering.

Moisture beneath a roof has several possible sources, including air leakage from the living space as well as rain entry. A ventilation change is not a substitute for repairing a roof leak or addressing the source of indoor moisture. We help separate those questions so one measure is not asked to solve every problem.

Roof detailWhy the scope changes
Intake openings

Exhaust placement
Ridge and other exhaust arrangements have to suit the roof and intake.
Weather protection
A new opening needs proper flashing and integration into the covering.

Ventilation during replacement or repair
