Generally you need some ventilation in the roof it takes care of condensation. It is occuring on first floor only same area in front as in back. 3 you can see usually a light where floor of the attic meet roof this is the light from soffit fascia area. But the downside of an old home is maintenance.

I e not entire house. And for the past 11 years hays holmes has called it home. When it comes to the structural integrity of the roof on any given house roof algae and mold are two of the biggest enemies. This beautiful old house was built in 1885.

We have a problem with our siding on front and back of our 2 story home. The gable end the house wall on a conventional simple gable roof such as shown in our sketch is the triangular end wall arrows 17 22 23 and 31 see roof ventilation specifications definition of the rake area of the roof or ends of the roof itself may overhang the gable end wall.

Gaps in soffits and fascia are also favorite points of entry for insects particularly wasps who like to build nests in the rafter bays.

When your foundation extends several feet beneath the soil s surface dig a trench line it with gravel and place a special drain with perforations in it to pull the water away from the house. Gravity takes its toll on soffit panels causing them to sag over time. It s just a good location. I like the style.
