Stagnant air is the enemy. We balance your intake and exhaust systems to flush out moisture and stop frost buildup before it starts.
Most Calgary homes suffer from one of these three common airflow obstructions.
The #1 cause of failure. Over time, insulation gets pushed into the eaves (soffits), physically blocking the fresh air trying to enter your attic. It's like trying to breathe with a hand over your mouth.
Older passive vents (like whirlybirds or low-profile boxes) often get buried under snow in winter, rendering them useless exactly when you need them most.
Effective ventilation requires a perfect 50/50 balance between intake and exhaust. If you have too much exhaust but no intake, your system acts like a vacuum, sucking warm heat from your house.
What happens when air stops moving?
When ventilation is blocked, warm, humid air from your shower and kitchen rises into the attic and gets trapped. It has nowhere to go.
In -30°C weather, this stagnant, humid air hits your freezing cold roof deck. It instantly condenses and freezes, forming thick layers of frost (often mistaken for snow).
As soon as a Chinook hits, that frost melts. Without airflow to dry it out, the water drips onto your insulation and eventually stains your ceiling.
We install "Rafter Mates" or baffles in your eaves. These create a permanent, crush-proof channel that forces insulation back and guarantees fresh air can always enter.
We replace low-profile vents with High-Profile Static Vents (Maximum Vents). These stand tall above the snowline to ensure airflow continues even during heavy winter storms.
We don't guess. We calculate the exact square footage of your attic to determine the precise number of vents needed to achieve the National Building Code standard (1:300 ratio).
