Attic & Crawl Spaces - Attic
Proper care and maintenance can extend the life and beauty of your home.
Select the area of your home from the left-hand menu.
An attic's primary function is structural. The attic soffit and ridge vent ventilate the attic to prevent moisture build up in this space.
Care and Maintenance Tips
General Maintenance
Proper ventilation through the attic helps reduce moisture buildup around the home and protects the aging of wooden materials in the roof (trusses and sheathing).
Check to ensure there are no obstructions from the soffit or ridge vents.
Check for pest intrusion and seal areas (not including vents) where insects or rodents can enter.
Check that bathroom/dryer vent lines are not disconnected or leaking into the attic.
Operation
You should not use the attic as storage space. Use interior closets or the garage for storage as appropriate.
Keep your attic hatch closed. When open it allows warm moist air to escape from your home into the attic.
If you are finishing of the interior of your garage (attached or detached) remember to install roof vents to this area to maintain proper ventilation.
* If you are in a Condo residence please refer to your Condo Association Documents to verify your responsibilities, if any, for the maintenance of these areas.
