Staying Ahead of Roof Condensation

The Winnipeg climate, hot summers to cold winters, provides an ideal environment for roof condensation. If left untreated, roof condensation can be very costly to cure so its important to know what causes roof condensation, what to look for and who to call to keep it in check.

What causes roof condensation?

The main cause of roof condensation is warm air from a heated home rising to a cold attic resulting in moisture forming. This warm air can sneak in from things like cracks, vents and even improperly sealed light fixtures.

If left untreated, excessive roof moisture can lead to ice damming which leads to water leaking into your home in Winnipeg and potential roof repair.

How to tell if your roof is at risk for excessive moisture

Does your bathroom exhaust fan lead directly into your unheated attic?

Is your home properly insulated for Winnipeg weather conditions?

Does the snow on your roof melt quickly after a snowfall?

Does your attic have proper ventilation for heat to escape?

Do you experience leaks from your roof?

If you are unaware of the answers to any of these questions it is important that you contact a Winnipeg roofing specialist to inspect your home for roof condensation risks.
