S E ARCH F OR COND E NSAT I ON : Signs of condensation in your attic point to roof problems. “If you’re seeing water dripping from the underside or onto your rafters, it’s an indication you have condensation,” says Sipes, adding that wet insulation is another red flag. He answers many local calls about moisture and condensation inside during the winter and spring, and the solution is often fixing poor ventilation. “You’re getting condensation in your attic from the hot air and the cold air not getting out,” Sipes says. “We need to ventilate the roof properly.”

DON’T WAIT: Addressing any issues as winter winds down is important, because Northeast Ohio’s springs bring hail that can make existing damage worse. Preventative checks and regular maintenance are important. So call an expert about any leaks, ice dams, water spots, cracks or condensation. “The sooner you notice that and the sooner you try to stop it, the more money you're going to save,” Sipes says.
