Proper attic ventilation is important for a number of reasons, including:

Temperature regulation:

Attic ventilation helps regulate the temperature in your home, which can make your living spaces more comfortable.

Moisture removal:

Attic ventilation removes excess moisture from the attic, which can prevent mold, mildew, and other harmful substances from building up.

Roof protection:

Attic ventilation helps protect your roof from damage caused by moisture. Too much moisture can lead to rust, algae, fungus, and decay.

Ice dam prevention:

In the winter, attic ventilation helps keep the attic cool, which reduces the risk of ice dams. Ice dams can form when snow melts off a roof and then re-freezes at the gutters.

Reduced energy costs:

Attic ventilation can help keep your home cooler, which can reduce the amount of work your air conditioner needs to do. This can help lower your electricity bill and extend the life of your air conditioner.

An issue we are seeing way to commonly is new constructions without proper attic ventilation. This can result in numerous issues if not corrected by builder and roofer.
