Robert Jones Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 This home was recently "renovated" and the roof replaced. See the three cans on the left side of the roof, that is it for the ridge area ventilation. The topper, each one of them is being used by either a bathroom fan or the kitchen fan.

John Dirks Jr Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Flashing that stone veneer chimney is a common place to find substandard work too. My '62 ranch has a hip roof like that and the original roof had no ridge vent. There were only 6 half ass vents at various places in the eave overhangs. Needless to say, until I put a ridge vent and full length vents at the eaves, my attic was rotting from the inside out. Although dry and intact now, the sheathing is still stained dark from the previous condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denray Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Lots of houses originally had shake roofs, which breath better. When changed out to the comp with the solid sheathing then venting has to be updated. And of course with the new roof the bath exhausts get left to where they only vent to the attic.
