Snow Infiltrates Roof Vents after snow storm in Kansas City area. We have received a number of calls today from homeowners who report that snow blew into their attic (through roof vents) during Thursday’s severe snow storm. The solution is to replace these vents with passive roof vents which have a snow filter in them. Around January 2010, some vent manufacturers began manufacturing passive roof vents which have a snow filter inside them to render the vents more resistant to snow infiltration. Regrettably, the vast majority of passive roof vents on homes today do not have a snow filter in them so these vents are more susceptible to snow infiltration. If your vents were recently infiltrated by snow, we recommend getting the snow out of the attic promptly and replacing the vents with new passive roof vents, which have a snow filter inside them. Another suggestion is to poke a small hole in the ceiling (i.e. a pencil hole) where leakage is occurring to releave water build up and potentially reduce the extent of water damage to the ceiling. *We are not aware of any vent manufacturer warranty or contractor workmanship guarantee that covers snow infiltration of roof vents.
