When the time comes for soffit replacement, you may notice the paint flaking or evidence of rot.
When you look at any structure, you may notice a few key elements. Every building has a roof, which provides protection from the elements and other outdoor threats. The roofing system connects to the soffit, a material lining the underside of the overhang to cover the rafters. Soffit also bridges the gap between the outside edge of the roof and the siding, which is the material placed over the exterior walls for enhanced protection and improved visual appeal.
One purpose of soffit is to prevent moist, warm air from coming into the attic. If this does happen, mold growth is more likely, which can impact your health and safety. Additionally, soffit helps to keep pests out, including wildlife and insects, while reducing the risk of rot and moisture seepage. Depending on the look of the structural elements, this material may also hide exposed components for a better appearance. But over time, the materials used to create this covering can wear out, requiring replacement.
