Roof Ventilation for Gilbert, AZ, Businesses
Serving Gilbert, Chandler, Casa Grande, Mesa , Apache Junction, Ahwatukee, Tempe, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and Queen Creek.
Roof ventilation comes in a variety of styles. The type of vent system which is best for a building will depend on the style of the building.
Some of the roof vent systems we offer are box vents, power vents, turbine vents, ridge vents, off-ridge vents, soffit vents and cupola vents.
Adequate ventilation is crucial to keeping the temperature in the attic or crawl space from becoming excessive. Venting allows airflow through the attic or crawlspace, a crucial step in the process of keeping a building cool in the summer. In colder climates, venting also allows the moisture to escape, thereby eliminating the possibility of mold and rot.
If there is a significant temperature difference between the upper and lower levels of the building, it may be due to inadequate roof ventilation. When a building has excellent roof and attic ventilation, these temperature oscillations are rare.
A super-heated attic can increase overall cooling costs for a business. The trapped heat forces the AC to work harder and less efficiently. As a result, the operating costs increase significantly, and there is a risk that the AC may break at the worst possible time.
On top of that, inadequate roof ventilation decreases the overall lifespan of the roof. All the condensation and potential rot can cause considerable damage to wood framing and underlayment. Ensuring the air can flow freely deters these issues. Roof ventilation is also imperative in colder climates, as it can prevent ice damming.

Roof problems caused by poor ventilation…
Mold:
Experienced roofing contractors do as much as they can to prevent the development of mold. But there are no guarantees, and sometimes mold develops if there is a lack of sufficient roof ventilation. Many types of molds are toxic to human health and are a severe issue that requires immediate attention. The biggest problem with mold is that it can be persistent, and even when removed, it's still necessary to deliver enough airflow to the area.
Rust:
Roof rust occurs when moisture and air cause a chemical reaction. The longer the metal roof is exposed, the more the rust spreads. Rust changes the color of the roof and causes both structural and aesthetic issues. Ongoing roof maintenance is essential, but nothing is as vital as adequate roof ventilation. Rust can be quite complicated to remove, so preventative measures are a prudent strategy.
HVAC:
Regardless of what type of HVAC system is installed in the business, taking care of it is vital. Poor roof ventilation causes the HVAC unit to work harder, causing frequent damage and accumulating repair costs. If the building's HVAC system needs to be fixed often, the issue may be solved by ensuring the roof is adequately ventilated.
