Roof vent installation

Preventing wood rot. By allowing warm, humid air to escape, roof vents lower the moisture content of building components in your entire house. Lower moisture content and reduced relative humidity help prevent rot.

Wood rot often comes as an unpleasant surprise. Homeowners may first notice it when replacing shingles, only to discover rotted decking, rafters, or ridge boards. Sometimes it’s visible around exterior trim, window sills, siding, or even basement beams and joists.

Left untreated, rot can spread, weaken structural components, and reduce your home’s resale value. Fortunately, there are ways to replace damaged areas and prevent future rot with proper roofing, gutters, ventilation, siding, and windows.

What causes wood rot?

The fungal spores that cause rot are everywhere, but only thrive when wood stays damp. High humidity, roof leaks, and poor ventilation create perfect conditions. That’s why moisture management is key to prevention.

Where rot is most likely to appear:

If you suspect wood rot, carefully inspect these areas:

  • Exposed framing in a basement or crawlspace
  • Exterior window sills and door thresholds
  • Exterior window and door casings (trim)
  • The underside of the roof decking (if accessible from the attic)
  • Roof framing (if accessible from the attic)
  • Fascia (trim to which gutters are often attached) and rake boards (trim on the gable end of a roof)

Protect your home from wood rot with complete exterior solutions

Roof Rot

Stop the rot. Without excess moisture, rot cannot gain a foothold in your home. Properly maintained gutters and reduced moisture infiltration at the windows are good preventative measures.

Most strategies for fighting wood rot begin with your roof. A failing or poorly ventilated roof can let in water, trap moisture, and cause widespread structural damage. Clogged or misaligned gutters can also direct water toward your roof and foundation, while deteriorated soffits and fascia create vulnerable entry points for moisture.

If rot has already damaged your roof, Sela Gutter Connection provides expert roof replacement to restore lasting protection.

Prevention is just as important. You can stop rot before it starts by addressing the key areas where moisture enters and builds up. That’s why we offer a full range of services, including:

  • Roofing: Durable replacements with proper ventilation.
  • Gutter Installation: Seamless systems that channel water away from your home.
  • Soffit & Fascia Replacement: Fresh, sturdy components that seal vulnerable roof edges.
