I have a colonial style house built in 1960. It does have a ridge vent. The house does have soffit, but it is packed with insulation that is almost impossible to remove due to shape of roof (see image).
Only one side is open to add a gable vent. Would one gable vent help in this situation? Maybe with a power fan? It appears there was a gabble vent in the past, but on the previous remodel it was replaced with the ridge vent. Likely when the mold growth started.
The attic has R 40+ insulation.
The roof sheeting has mold growth. Before I take care of the mold I need to correct the venting.
