Heat Build Up.
A hot attic acts like a giant radiator, transferring
heat into your living spaces, sending both utility bills
and temperatures soaring. In colder climates, heat build-up
in an attic causes snow to melt and run down where it
freezes at the eaves, causing destructive ice damming.

Battle
Moisture
Many of today's houses have insufficient ventilation
and air exchange. This causes high humidity levels from
everyday activities. This moisture migrates through
the ceiling towards the roof where it comes in contact
with the cold structure. Here, ice and frost form, causing
damage to your roof structure. Additionally, moisture
can saturate insulation, promote fungal decay and plywood
delamination.
