When we think of roof damage, we usually conjure up images of heavy snow, hail, ice, and wind—things that cause damage from the outside. But did you know that poor attic ventilation can wreak havoc from the inside?

Your attic is part of your house like any other room, and it's the space closest to your roof. That means that an unhealthy attic directly affects your roof's condition. Mold and mildew, ice and water buildup, and excessive heat in your attic can all cause serious damage to your roof.
