When warm indoor air rises and condenses in a poorly ventilated attic, the trapped moisture swells and delaminates the roof deck, rots out framing, corrodes fasteners, and weakens the wood holding shingles and the rest of your roofing system in place. It also creates a breeding ground for mold that can harm your health.

you back a few hundred dollars, but moisture-rotted decking is significantly more expensive to remediate if you don&#8217;t catch it early.

You&#8217;ll usually feel the humidity like a wall of heat if it&#8217;s very high, but the difference will vary depending on the weather. Seeing frost or icicles on the rafters is also a red flag, as is a musty odour in the attic itself.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other warning signs aren&#8217;t even in the attic:<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400; margin-bottom: 5px;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Brown or yellow stains<\/strong> on your ceilings, especially on the top floor<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400; margin-bottom: 5px;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Peeling or bubbling paint<\/strong> near the ceiling line or at the top of the wall<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400; margin-bottom: 5px;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Musty odors<\/strong> confined to the very top floor or your closets<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400; margin-bottom: 5px;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Rust stains<\/strong> around the edges of your bathroom fans or fan grilles<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400; margin-bottom: 5px;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Ice dams<\/strong> that constantly form along the edge of the roof in winter<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400; margin-bottom: 5px;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>A visibly wavy or sagging roofline<\/strong> from the street<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400; margin-bottom: 5px;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unexplainably high energy bills from AC use<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of these are signs that the moisture level in your home is too high.
