Why your roof needs to breathe.
Attics need balanced intake (soffits) and exhaust (ridge or roof vents). The common guideline is 1 square foot of net free area per 150–300 square feet of attic floor.
Too little ventilation traps heat and moisture, cooking shingles and encouraging mold.
Mixing exhaust types—such as a ridge vent and a power fan—can short-circuit airflow.
