95% of homes in Utah are not ventilated to basic Building Code Standards
The following are problems associated with improper attic ventilation systems:
1) Premature deterioration of the shingles and roofing materials due to excessive heat
2) Excess attic humidity buildup in the winter time
3) Increased risk of ice dams
4) Rotten rafters or trusses
5) Mold or mildew on the underside of the roof sheathing
6) Voided manufacturer warranty on the roofing materials
7) Premature failure of HVAC equipment due to unnecessary strain of overuse
8) Delamination of roof sheathing due to high humidity levels
9) 2nd floor living spaces that the AC cannot combat the heat
10) Drywall deterioration, especially at the seams due to excessive humidity in the home
