Gable vents are installed in millions of homes, but do they actually work well to mitigate the build up of moisture? In this video, we discuss the necessary components of a successful vented roof system, including air inlets, outlets, and driving forces like the stack effect and wind, and explain why gable vents often fail due to their lack of a consistent driving force and how this can lead to serious moisture and mold problems, especially in modern, well-insulated homes.
