Ridge Vent Benefits
1) Prevents ice dams during storms/freezes in cold climates. Without a ridge vent to equalize the pressure, warm moist air inside a house can escape through the roof and into freezing temperatures without touching anything, causing ice dams on your roof. Ice dams happen when water leaks under the shingles. This moisture can freeze if it makes contact with the cold roof, causing the ice to weigh down your shingles. This damage can be very costly and can only be avoided by installing a ridge vent.
2) Prevents water pooling on your metal roof. A ridge vent will prevent rain water from pooling up on your metal roof during a storm because it keeps the air pressure in balance; this prevents any trapped moisture from getting trapped between layers of shingles, freezing or causing ice dams to form. If water builds up on your metal roof, it will freeze, cracking and then lifting while also increasing the risk of leaking into your home through damaged ceilings that have not been repaired properly.
3) Prevents moisture damage to your home and increases energy efficiency by preventing heat loss. When your attic is full of trapped water vapor, it can cause heat to escape through your roof during the winter. By allowing the trapped water vapor to escape through vents, you are able to decrease your heating costs by keeping more warm air in your home.
4) Prevents moisture from rising into your attic and damaging interior structures. If moisture rises through the roof into the attic and causes damage, you will have not only costly repairs, but also a decrease in energy efficiency because of holes that were left when problems were not addressed properly during installation.
5) Reduces interior noise during storms because the ridge vent allows ridges and valleys in the roof to equalize, reducing noise from leaking water. A ridge vent will prevent rainwater from pooling up on your roof, which will effectively reduce rain noise inside your attic space.
Ridge vent benefits are numerous and can prevent a number of problems, including ice dams, water leaks, damage to interior structures and ceilings that aren't insulated properly. If you want to save money on your energy bills by preventing heat from escaping out of your attic space in the winter, a ridge vent is a must-have when installing a metal roof over your house.
