Summary: Ridge vents and soffit vents are a necessity to keep roof rot problems
out of new homes. Houses release moisture into attics. Ridge attic
vents remove wet air quickly.

Can you name a preferred product? We seen some of those first generation
products used unsuccessfully and have tried 2 or 3 different brands, some
with success, some failing, especially in a severe ice storm, water had
piled on the roof behind a massive build up of ice and poured right into
the slot. Adequate ventilation of a hex or octagon roof remains a problem.

sir,
i am having my roof redone. i have a hip style roof. my roofer wants to
put both a ridge vent and air hawks on the roof. i am worried since i hear
air hawks cancel out ridge vents. my hip roof is such that i dont have
enough room for adequate ridge venting. so i need something additional. do
you recommend hip vents? should i get a ridge vent with the hip vents or
just the hip vents?
