Insulation and Roof Ventilation Together
During the summer, attic insulation and proper ventilation are key to keeping your home cool. Together, they help regulate indoor temperatures and prevent moisture buildup that can cause costly damage to your roof and home.

EcoHome Spray Foam reduces energy costs by limiting the flow of heat from hot outdoor air into the house. A well-insulated attic also reduces the load on heating and cooling systems, extending their lifespan and improving overall energy efficiency.

Proper ventilation allows hot, humid attic air to escape while drawing in fresh, cooler outside air, minimizing the formation of ice dams in winter and excess heat in summer. It also reduces the risk of mold and wood rot and extends the life of your roof and other home structures.

For new construction, ensure that attic insulation meets recommended R-values for your region and is placed at the proper depth. If you’re adding insulation to an existing attic, consider using open-cell spray foam instead of traditional batts. The open-cell structure of spray foam offers greater resistance to moisture penetration than the closed-cell type.

Why Insulation and Roof Ventilation Must Work Together

To ensure that your attic insulation is properly installed, a reputable roofing professional can perform a detailed inspection of your attic and venting system. The inspection will include measuring and verifying that the attic has the correct R-value for your area and checking to make sure the vents are not blocked or ineffective. It will also look for signs of moisture or other issues that can lead to expensive repairs.
