Whether it's a private residence, apartment building or a commercial building, every structure needs a roof. A roof is comprised of multiple parts and, frankly speaking, it takes a professional roofing contractor to fit all the parts together and keep them running smoothly. Roofing Dunedin is tops in the field of roof installation, repair and replacement. Our company has efficient roofing employees that can handle every aspect of the roofing business. On that note: one of the most important parts of a roof is the ventilation system.
​

There are several different types of vents available for roofs:

• Box vents (also known as Low Profile Vents, Louvers, Flat Vents and turtle vents)...these vents are static (no moving parts) and they come in hard plastic and metal and various colors.)
• Ridge vents (also static) ridge vents, when used with soffits are the most efficient system, providing even temperatures.)
• Off ridge vents (function similar to box vents but are long and thin but are the least effective system.)
• Wind turbines (also called whirlybirds) (have moving parts and rely on the wind for movement.)
• Power vents (motorized to turn large fans to force hot air and moisture out of the attic. Good venting and are pretty quiet.)
• Soffit vents (installed in soffits and eaves and are made of aluminum or PVC. Soffit vents are most effective if used with a ridge vent.)
• Cupola vents (decorative and fairly limited in their abilitiy to provide ventilation.)

In order to allow outside air to flow into attics and ventilation areas, Roofing Dunedin roofers install intake vents. The workers also use exhaust vents to combine the benefits of ventilation for your roof. Intake vents are installed and designed to keep out moisture, animals and hordes of insects from the ventilation space.

Air intakes and exhaust vents are installed on steep slope roofs. Air exhaust vents blow air into attics and ventilation spaces and exit to the outside. Roofing Dunedin professionals make sure to place intake and exhaust vents in the proper areas on the roof. Our roofing pros realize that the intake vents should be put in a relatively free precipitation spot.

It's important that an attic or crawl space has proper attic ventilation. If the attic/crawl space is under ventilated, the lifetime of the roof may be reduced and numerous other roof problems can pop up. Our roofing crew has your best interest in mind when they install, replace or repair your roof and all of it's components, including the vents.

One of the most usual causes of leaky roofs is due to roof vents. If a vent pipe collar is rusty or cracked at the bottom of the vent pipe, water can puddle up around the base and seep through a home's interior walls. When you hire a Roofing Dunedin conscientious crew to fix a leak, one of the first things they look for is problematic roofing vents. Sometimes a leak shows up at the collar that goes aroundthe base of the vent pipe. A collar's function is to form a tight seal to keep water and bits of debris from entering the attic. Our Roofing Dunedin efficient roofers will replace the boot that sits inside the collar top if the boot is damaged. Another leakage problem can originate from the roof vent, itself. Whatever the cause of room damage or leaking (vents or something else), you can be assured that Roofing Dunedin pros will locate it and fix it.

There is one vent on top of a roof that many customers of Roofing Dunedin forget about or may not even realize is there. That vent is the plumbing vent. The plumbing venting system is made up of a bunch of pipes leading from the waste pipes to the outside, usually through the roof. These plumbing vents help to provide release of sewer gases to the outdoors to stop the toxic gases from remaining inside the house. Roofing Dunedin employees will look for a leaking flashing boot around the plumbing vent. This a sign that water could be getting into the wrong places. When our crew has to replace a boot, the two basic choices are lead and plastic. At Roofing Dunedin, our contractors highly recommend a lead boot because a lead material stands up to harsh weather conditions and lasts longer than a plastic boot. 

In order to maintain a sound and sturdy roof on your home, frequent inspections are suggested by our Roofing Dunedin contractors. You can schedule regular visits with our Roofing Dunedin office. We encourage you to try our roofing services. You will be glad you did. Our customers are important to us so we strive to complete all work to your complete satisfaction!
