Have a 2 year old colonial in NH and recently found mold and wet walls in the attic, mold was mostly in the middle to upper part of the decking toward ridge. Have continuous sofit vents (which are protected by baffles in attic) and ridge vent and blown in insulation, but I believe the ridge vent is not pulling/exhausting air enough. That fabric material in the ridge vent seems to flat and gets covered with 8" of snow, how can it ventilate? I put in two 12x18 inch gable vents on both sides up as high as possible. Things seem to be drying and the temp is now much lower, but humidity is still high. I am thinking that's because the wood is drying out. Don't you think the gable vents will contribute to more air circulation to the ridge versus canceling out the sofit vents? thks |
