The four common types of vents are soffit, ridge, roof, and gable.
Soffit vents typically comprise at least fifty percent of the ventilation. Ridge, roof or gable vents make up the balance. The purpose of low and high vents is to encourage convective air movement through the attic. Air is drawn in through the soffit vents and leaves through the ridge, roof, or gable vents.
If we have more roof or ridge venting than soffit venting, we can create low pressure in the attic. This causes more warm, moist air from the house to be sucked out through the ceilings into the attic. This increases attic moisture levels, which is what we are trying to avoid.
