Proper attic ventilation prevents moisture buildup, mold growth, and excessive heat, which can damage roofing materials and reduce energy efficiency. Blocked vents can lead to poor air circulation, increasing the risk of mold and ice dam formation in colder climates.
Optimal
Soffit, ridge, and gable vents are unobstructed, allowing for proper airflow that regulates attic temperature and humidity.
Cautionary
Some vents are partially blocked, leading to restricted airflow, which may cause minor moisture issues or temperature imbalances.
Hazardous / Out of Range
Severe blockage or closure of ventilation points, which can cause mold growth, insulation deterioration, and premature roof damage.
