Why Proper Attic & crawl space Ventilation Is Vital To Your Health & Home
One of the most critical areas of ventilation is the roof vents. They are essential to the airflow of your entire house. So, it’s crucial to have the right type of vents and the correct number. Too few vents wouldn’t be able to handle the heat, and too many can lead to moisture and pest problems. If you’re buying a house, have us come by and check the vents on the roof to make sure they’re adequate. We can also make sure none of the vents are blocked or damaged, and if they are, we can unblock them or replace them if necessary.
The number of roof vents you need depends on how large your attic is. A good rule of thumb is one vent for every 150 square feet of attic space. And vents come in all types like gable and soffit vents, but we can suggest what would be best for your house.
Another option for ventilation is a whole house fan that transfers warm air from the attic into your home. The main idea for proper ventilation is that the air needs to keep moving.
Good To KnowWhy Correct Ventilation Makes A Big Difference
Passive Ventilation vs. Active Ventilation: an easy way to look at the two different types are passive doesn’t require electricity and active does.
- Passive: Let’s look at passive ventilation first. Most of the time, you’ll find these vents in the attic and on the roof. Gable and ridge vents help air flow through the attic keeping it from becoming too stuffy in the summer or too moist in the winter. When your attic is cooler in the summer, your home stays cooler also. And in the winter, if you’re not losing heat out of the attic, your home will be warmer and your utility bills lower.
- Active: Active ventilation uses fans powered by electricity. You’ll have this type of ventilation in your bathrooms and kitchen. When properly installed, they do an excellent job of reducing moisture from bathing or cooking. They also reduce odors. If you’re concerned about the ventilation, we can check to make sure you have the right size fans, and that your home is properly air sealed.
- Air Sealing: With air sealing, we check for any sources of air leakage throughout your entire home from your attic and walls to your crawlspace and basement. If you have leakage, your house will be drafty, and your utility bills high. Cut energy waste, lower your bill, Improve air quality. Sealing your ducts can cut your energy bills and eliminate uncomfortable drafts and air quality problems in your home.
Controlled Ventilation vs. Uncontrolled Ventilation. Here’s an easy way to think about this – controlled ventilation is good. Uncontrolled ventilation isn’t. Here’s the difference between the two.
- Controlled – examples are your HVAC and duct system, exhaust fans in the bath, and kitchen that you control with the flip of a switch. Properly controlled ventilation will improve your home’s air quality. And Envirosmart Solution can help you with this.
- Uncontrolled – examples are cracks and gaps around windows and doors. When your home isn’t sealed correctly, you’re either heating or cooling the outside instead of the inside. And you’re wasting money.

Key Areas Of Home Attic & Crawl space Ventilation
Also, there are vital areas you need to make sure have proper ventilation. They are:
- Roof & attic to make sure heat and moisture doesn’t get trapped.
- Crawlspace so that moisture doesn’t accumulate.
- Gas stoves and fireplaces need proper ventilation, so gas doesn’t accumulate.
- Kitchens need active fans to remove cooking odors.
- Bathrooms require active fans to get rid of odors and moisture.
- Dryers need to be properly vented outside.
- Shops and garages should be well ventilated, especially if there are any chemicals used or sawdust made.
- Keeping air circulating, helps your home avoid the risks of mold growth and carbon monoxide poisoning. Excessive moisture can also harm the structure of your home.
In our chilling Washington climate, the roof and attic ventilation prevent ice and snow from building up by maintaining a constant roof temperature. And, it’s important to vent the moisture that enters the attic.
Correct insulation and air sealing can keep attics cold in the winter. That blocks the entry of heat and moist air from below. Then, in the summertime, air flowing naturally in a properly-vented attic transfers hot air to the outside. That protects the roof shingles and removes moisture.
Prescriptively air sealing restricts air from flowing through small cracks and gaps all over your home. That will help reduce your energy bill and keep your home at a more comfortable temperature.
