roof vents

Ridge air outlets

Roof vents are openings or devices installed in a roof to allow air circulation, releasing heat and moisture from the attic or interior space.

They prevent condensation, ice dams, and heat buildup that can damage roofing materials.

Common types include ridge vents running along the roof peak, turbine vents that spin with wind, and static box vents: The contractor recommended adding more roof vents to improve airflow.
