How Harmful Is Condensation in Your Attic?

Ryson Roofing | Baton Rouge Roofing Companies

Every year during the colder winter months we get lots of phone calls from people concerned about wet spots on their ceilings. In the colder months this is a pretty common occurrence. It is usually the result of condensation in your attic. Condensation is formed when warm air travels up and meets with the cold roofing material. Think of your cold can of coke in the summer. Its the same thing. Warm air can be created in many ways. Bathing, doing dishes, or just a higher humidity in the house. This warm air rises and meets the cold plywood and condensation begins. This condensation then leaks onto your attic floor and if it is not addresses, it can lead to bigger problems.

Bigger Problems

When condensation in your attic leaks onto the insulation, the insulation becomes damaged and eventually molds. This can be very hazardous to you and your family. If left untreated mold can cause health hazards that negatively effect the respiratory system. You can avoid these issues by going into your attic in the morning and identifying if you have condensation. In addition its a good thing to have your roof inspected. Ryson Roofing offers free roof inspections to help you solve many unseen residential roofing issues. 

Roofing 101

Roofers understand the importance of roof ventilation. The proper ventilation of your roof has many benefits both in the summer months and winter. For starters the right roof ventilation will allow the warm air or vapor that causes condensation to exit the attic avoiding condensation all together. In the hot months the roof ventilation allows hot air to escape making it easier for your air conditioner to cool your home. This is also a plus for your energy bill. In the winter months ventilation as we mentioned earlier.

Local Roofing Contractors

Baton Rouge Roofing Contractors 

Here in the south, local roofing contractors are fortunate to be able to roof through the winter. The roofing work here is pretty consistent unlike the northern states that get lots of snow and have to stop roofing during the winter months. However, even though here in the south we do not get snow there are still several factors that play a role in making roofing riskier during the cold winter months. Here are some things to consider and hopefully can help your local roofers roof safe;

1. Slippery Slopes: Even though we do not get snow, the temperatures are still cold enough to freeze. And the winter usually means wet and moisture. This moisture builds up on the shingles of the roof and makes for a much worse slippery surface. It's important to be conscious of these slippery slopes and 

utilize proper safety equipment to avoid accidents and protect your roofing crew. 

2. Hydration: Most roofers are very aware to stay hydrated during the hot months. They however do not consider that the exact same circumstances exist in the winter and although it's not hot they still are perspiring underneath their clothing and need to continue to stay hydrated. make sure there is always plenty of water available for your Baton Rouge Roofing Contractors. 

3. Body Temperature: It is very common for roofers to catch hypothermia during the winter months. Hypothermia occurs when the body temperature drops below a safe temperature and the critical organs no longer function properly. This can be caused by the perspiration underneath the clothing and the cold temperatures. Try wearing three layers of clothing when roofing during the winter months. This will allow the first layer to absorb the perspiration while the second and thirs layer become more protective against the cold.
