The Function Of Vents
As I said at the beginning, the ventilation function is simple. But its simplicity does not mean that it is insignificant. On the contrary, its function is of particular importance for maintaining the integrity of the home.
The function of the soffit vents is to allow condensation and moisture to escape from the attic, which protects the roof from suffering from mildew, mould, and dry rot.
The common reason why this kind of problem occurs is extreme overheating and rapid cooling which can happen during both winter and summer months.
This means that the soffit vent brings balance to the home!
