[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3720655, member: 5412"] You don't want moist air vented to your attic. It must be vented outside the home. Back in the day, homes had gable vents to allow air flow through the attic that dissipated the moisture. With the new high roof designs there are no longer gable vents so that moisture continues to gather in the attic until it becomes a problem. Most roofers now offer roof vents either in the ridge of the roof or install roof vents near the peak with flashing that allow air exchange as long as there are vents lower in the soffits. Hot air rises so the vents in the soffits take in air while the vents at the peak dispel the heat. The circulation of air reduces the moisture and temperature in the attic that improves the efficiency of the heat and air systems. [/QUOTE]
