Why Attics Get Water Damage in Ennis
Clogged or Damaged Gutters
Clogged gutters overflow at the roof edge, pushing water under shingles and into the soffits.
Overflow From Bathroom Exhaust Fans
Bathroom fans that vent into the attic, or have disconnected ducts, release moisture onto the decking.
Improperly Sealed Roof Penetrations
Gaps around vents, pipes and antennas that pass through the roof let water in when seals fail.
Condensation From Poor Ventilation
Warm, moist air from the house condenses on cold roof decking when the attic is poorly vented.
