What it is: Insufficient or short-circuited intake/exhaust airflow in the attic.
Why it matters
Poor ventilation drives ice dams, condensation and premature shingle aging.
Why it's common in Bloomington
A root cause behind many Bloomington ice-dam and attic-moisture findings.
Signs to watch for
- blocked soffit vents
- no ridge/gable exhaust
- matted insulation at the eaves
What we check during the inspection
We evaluate the intake-to-exhaust balance and baffles at the eaves.
How it's typically corrected
Add/clear soffit intake, add ridge or gable exhaust, install baffles.
