When You Have Roof Ventilation Problems We Have the Solutions

Proper roof ventilation is one of the more complex aspects of roofing construction that takes the attic space below into consideration. Roof ventilation and attic ventilation go hand-in-hand to create a system that keeps air flowing, temperatures regulated and moisture under control.

When a roof isn't allowed to "breathe" with proper ventilation, it can result in significant damage.

Worried poor roof ventilation or attic ventilation is harming your roofing system? Contact LOA for a free roof inspection to evaluate your roof and attic ventilation system.

Signs of Poor Roof Ventilation

The signs of poor ventilation that are caused by inadequate roof vents and attic insulation will show up both inside and outside of the structure. It may take a few seasons for the effects of poor roof ventilation to start showing, but when they do they're hard to miss.

  • Ice Dams Forming on the Roof

    If some parts of the roof are warmer and some areas are colder it's the perfect condition for ice dams. An ice dam can form when snow melts on the roof but then refreezes before draining off creating a portion of ice that blocks further drainage.

  • Mold Growth on the Roofing Materials and in the Attic

    Mold is always a sign of moisture since it requires moisture to grow. When there are improper roof ventilation problems the swings in hot air and cold air can cause moisture to build up and create the conditions for mold growth on the roof and in the attic.

  • Higher Energy Costs

    Poor ventilation that's related to improper insulation is going to have an impact on energy bills. You may notice your heating and cooling costs going up because poor attic ventilation will damage the existing insulation making energy efficiency worse.

  • Shorter Shingle Life

    When a roof isn't properly ventilated warm air can get trapped and those spots can get excessively hot. The heat in those spots can cause shingles to curl or warp. When this happens it causes damage that shortens the shingle life.

  • Excessive Moisture Buildup

    Ventilation is extremely important in keeping moisture under control by helping to keep air moving and keep the temperature uniform. When the roofing ventilation system is lacking, excessive moisture can show up as:
    • Roof leaks
    • Condensation
    • Water stains
    • Peeling paint
    • Damp insulation
    • Roof decking damage
    • Rusty flashing and fasteners

    If any of these are seen you need to find the cause immediately. Moisture problems will only get worse if they aren't addressed, and you'll have even more costly repairs.

  • Product Defects

    In some cases, roof blistering is the result of poorly made roofing materials. This can be the case if there's premature deterioration anywhere in the membrane. Asphalt shingle blisters could also be the result of trapped moisture or trapped air that happened during the manufacturing process.

Problems Caused by Poor Roof Ventilation and Improper Attic Ventilation

The biggest problems related to poor attic ventilation that doesn't regulate the flow of warm air and cool air is excess moisture that creates water damage. Even if you live in an area where you don't have to worry about issues like ice dams, moisture that damages the insulation and roofing materials is still a problem.


A build up of moisture can cause everything from mold that can be removed with specialized cleaning agents to significantly shortening the lifespan.


Good attic ventilation involves a system of vents that are placed correctly for the size and shape of the roof. It's just one more reason why working with an experienced roofing contractor is essential.

We're a 5-Star Roofer for a Reason!

If home improvement projects went this smoothly, I would do more of them. Our insurance denied the claim. Jay did a conference call with the adjuster to politely and professionally explain why the roof needed replacing. She came out herself for a second inspection. Claim approved! I find all the paperwork and payment process confusing. He walked me through that, as well. The crew noticed our roof wasn’t as vented as it should be. They added more venting, no extra charge. When inspecting the powered vent in the attic, Jay noticed the exhaust vent disconnected from my heater which is a big safety problem. He fixed it no charge.

I highly recommend working with LOA Construction. I shopped around before picking a roofing company and LOA provided the best overall responsiveness and price. Cameron Smith and his team were helpful and communicative leading up to, during, and after the job. The roof looks great and I'm confident in the workmanship. LOA also performed repairs and house painting, both of which we are very pleased with.

— Chris Farrow

LOA Construction has exceeded my expectations again. This is the second roof installation with them and I couldn't be happier. Specifically, Tyler Griffiths is professional, attentive, and made the entire process of working with my insurance company effortless. My tenant sent a glowing account of their experience as well. Knowing it was a rental, they still diligently protected all property and plants. They were on time every time and went out of their way to not inconvenience the residents. LOA Construction has integrity and takes pride in their work. I couldn't recommend them more.

From the very start, I knew I was in good hands.

Andrew was very great at getting myself and my wife all the information and getting us started from start to completion. His workers were friendly and professional. If ever I had to contact him, he was quick to respond back. We are very happy with the finished product. Yes, I would and have recommended him and his company to get their work by LOA Construction and Austin. Andrew made sure my wife would be satisfied with whatever roof she liked. Can't thank you enough Andrew and LOA Construction.

— Paul Coleman

As a first time home owner with no experience in how to make claims and start the process of getting a new roof I was scared to the point of avoiding what needed to get done after the bad hail storm. August Walker did an amazing job walking me through each step along the way. He answered all my questions and calmed my concerns. They inspected my roof and drove from Austin to Belton just to be there with the ins inspector, and followed up with me in person after the roof was installed. He also made a special trip back to drop off samples! I’m grateful to August and LOA construction for being highly professional and friendly!

— Angela Baker

From start to finish Lee and his team took great care of us. He made us feel comfortable during the process and answered any and all questions we had. I would definitely them recommend to anyone.
