Why roof ventilation matters in cold weather a tip from cora our roofing pup

🏠 Breathe Easy This Winter, Bendigo!

G'day! It’s me, Cora your local roofing watchdog here at T&T Roofing Bendigo 🐶

And today, I’m barking up the right tree about something super important this winter: roof ventilation!

When the weather cools down, most people think about heaters, hot showers and electric blankets... but what about your roof space? If it’s not breathing properly, you could be in for damp surprises like mould, condensation damage and even roof timber rot.

🧊 What Happens If Your Roof Can’t Breathe?

Without proper ventilation, warm moist air rises from your home (showers, cooking, heaters) and gets trapped in the ceiling space And in cold months, it condenses into water

uh oh!

Here’s what that can lead to:

🐾 Mould & mildew growth

🐾 Sagging or water-stained ceilings

🐾 Damaged insulation

🐾 Higher energy bills from poor airflow

🐾 Rotten roof battens or frame

🌬️ How Roof Ventilation Fixes It

A properly ventilated roof allows warm, moist air to escape and cool, dry air to circulate, keeping your roof dry and your insulation working effectively.

At T&T Roofing, we install passive and mechanical vents, like:

Wind-driven whirlybirds

Eave and gable vents

Solar-powered roof fans

Every home is different, and we always match the solution to your roof's layout and your home's needs.

🛠️ What We’re Seeing Around Bendigo

Lately, Tyler and Dillan have been on rooftops from Eaglehawk to Flora Hill installing vents and fixing old damp roof spaces. Some homes had no ventilation at all—no wonder they were feeling stuffy and cold!

Don’t wait for black mould or musty smells. A small upgrade now can save big headaches (and repair bills) later.

🐾 Cora’s Winter Tip:

“If your windows are foggy or your roof smells damp, your home might be trying to tell you it can’t breathe! Let us take a look before mould moves in.”
