You can protect your roof from developing roof rot in the first place by taking proper care of it. Here are four ways you can protect your roof from developing roof rot in the first place, especially when you live somewhere that is wet and moist.
#1 Fix Damaged Shingles Immediately

and nail them in place where the shingles came off. This will help keep moisture from seeping through the other layers of your roof. Or, you can have a roofing contractor come out to replace the shingles. They will remove shingles around the damaged area, lay down new shingles, and make sure that the other layers of your roof were not negatively impacted. Not fixing damaged shingles on your roof will allow water to trickle down to the lower layers and can lead to roof rot over time.
#2 Keep Chimney & Roof Vents Well Sealed
Your chimney and roof vents are another vulnerable area where roof rot can develop if you are not careful. You need to make sure that the areas around your chimney and roof vents are well sealed. This will prevent water from getting underneath your roof.
If you want to seal around your chimney and roof vents on your own, you can apply roofing tar around the base. This will keep water out. However, it is a temporary fix that you would need to repeat each year.

It may not seem like a big deal, but hot and humid air just sitting inside of your attic can ruin your roof form the inside out. All of that humidity can cause your roof to rot from the inside
out. Installing a proper roof ventilation system can help reduce moisture inside of your attic which can lead to roof rot. Excessive heat can actually also bake your shingles and make them age faster than they should. It can also save you money and make it easier to cool your house down, with all hot air vented out through your roof instead of stuck in your attic. If your attic is always really hot and humid, that is a good indication that your attic is not properly vented. A roofing professional can come out to your home and evaluate the venting system you have in your attic. They can help you determine if you need additional roof vents installed to control the temperature and humidity in your attic. The installation of extra fans can cool off your attic and protect your roof from rot and premature wear. The three primary types of attic fans are solar fans, electric fans and wind powered fans. Solar fans work well in areas that get lots of days of sunshine. Electric fans are great because they are dependable and always work, although they can slightly increase your energy costs. Wind powered fan reduce your energy consumption and work well in areas that gets lots of breezes.
