Moisture Is Not Always a Ventilation Problem
Water in an attic can come from roof leakage, condensation, plumbing, ductwork or indoor air leakage. Ventilation is only one part of the diagnosis.
What We Look For
- Roof penetration and flashing leaks.
- Wet insulation or localized deck staining.
- Disconnected bath exhaust ducts.
- Blocked soffit intake.
- Large ceiling penetrations and attic hatch leakage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you inspect before recommending a fan?
Yes. Roof condition, intake ventilation and attic conditions should be reviewed first.
Can a solar fan replace ridge and soffit ventilation?
Usually it should be evaluated as part of the overall system, not assumed to replace properly designed passive intake and exhaust.
Will it lower my electric bill?
There is no universal savings guarantee. Energy use depends on the entire building envelope and HVAC system.
Can Terra Nova install the fan during other roof work?
Yes. Coordinating the work with roof repair or replacement can make flashing and placement easier to evaluate.
