We’re not talking about a house leak which of course is also a concern we are also talking about the sneaky type of moisture that comes from wet jackets and shoes, watering house plants, cooking, showering, and wet pets. All these sources of moisture evaporate into thin air, travel through the house until they find a cool wall surface, toilet tank, or even a thermal pane window to turn back into a liquid state.
When this moisture finds these cool lower corners of the house, it sticks and stays, creating a little environment for mold and mildew. None of this is good and it can be easily prevented. The outcome of this moisture is normal wear & tearthings like peeling paint, curling shingles, rotted skirting, mold, and mildew and bug damage. These are not good for you home décor and can be prevented with proper ventilation and timely maintenance.
However, the good news is that specific vents can be installed in your roof, foundation, bath and kitchen to take care of the excess moisture; also you can coat your Roof with EPDM coatings Liquid Rubber to avoid water leaks and ponding.
Quoted: Experts recommend that homes in our area should have one square foot of ventilation for every 150 square foot of foundation floor area. Same for the attic using roof vents. For example, a one-floor 1,200-square-foot house, divided by 150, would need 8 square feet of ventilation around the perimeter of the foundation and again in the roof.This can be achieved by adding 1- square-foot foundation vents at every corner and evenly spaced around the foundation or skirting. By installing these vents you have taken some of the preliminary measures needed for a healthy, home and you.

All of those elements can cause extensive damage to the roof and vulnerable the interior of the structure to even more damage. When the roof of the building gets compromised, it allows the outside elements to come inside and creates more problems in the interior.You could potentially prevent thousands of dollars in repairs and full Roof replacements by applying one of the EPDM Liquid Rubber roof coatings to a building’s rooftop.
