Ridge vents are typically not recommended for low pitch roofs because they are less effective at properly ventilating the attic space. On low pitch roofs, there is less of a slope for air to circulate and escape through the ridge vent, leading to potential issues with moisture buildup and inadequate ventilation.
Additionally, ridge vents can be more prone to leaks on low pitch roofs, as the water runoff may not be able to effectively drain off the roof and could seep into the attic space. This can lead to water damage, mold growth, and other structural issues.
Instead of ridge vents, low pitch roofs may benefit more from alternative ventilation options such as soffit vents, gable vents, or power vents. These options can provide better airflow and ventilation for the attic space without the risk of leaks and moisture buildup associated with ridge vents on low pitch roofs.
