Hi, Guy here with Weathertight Roofing. http://weathertightroofing.com

I want to talk about home ventilation today.

Many people do not realize that their homes are under ventilated.  The architects association in the United States estimates that 86% of all homes fall into this category.

A lot of people wil close up their homes and think that by keeping their house tight they're going to eliminate dust in their house and everything else.  They have allergies and this is their way to get keep their allergies at bay. 

Instead, what they're doing is making things worse. 
 
Your home produces water, up to about six quarts per day.  This water is created when you use your dishwasher, take showers and do the dishes. 
 
This moisture is trapped in your home and attic in turn creating mold and mildew.

This moisture along with the mold & mildew reduce your insulation's ability to insulate and keep the cold out and  in the summer get rid of the heat. These two actions can lead to ruin  -- cause mold & mildew which contributes to rotting your roof rafters.

For a healthy roof  your house needs to be properly ventilated; the rule of thumb is: one square foot for every 150 square feet of your house.
