Dangers of High Attic Humidity: Roof Rot, Mold & More

High attic humidity rots out wooden decking, corrodes fasteners, and creates a breeding ground for mold.

Improving your ventilation and making attic checks a regular part of your maintenance plan can help you avoid disaster.

High temperatures can wreak havoc on an asphalt shingle roof, but it’s actually the UV rays in sunlight that cause the most damage.

Shingle rejuvenators like Roof Maxx treat this problem at the root by replenishing these lost oils so the shingle feels soft and flexible again.
