“What is a soffit?” is not something people ask themselves every day. When they do wonder about the soffit, it is usually too late.
A soffit is the flat part under the edge of your roof. It sits between the roof and the wall. It helps air move, keeps water out, and stops animals from getting into places they should not be.

A soffit is the underside of your roof’s overhang. The part you see when you stand under the edge of your roof and look up.
The soffit is part of your roof system, working together with other roof pieces to protect your home.
It does four main things:
Without a soffit, your roof is more exposed than it should be. Many roof soffits have small vents. These vents let fresh air into the attic. Hot air escapes through the higher roof vents.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, good ventilation helps control moisture and protect indoor air quality. If you notice damage or wear, soffit repair or even soffit replacement may be necessary to maintain your roof’s performance.
You can learn more about attic ventilation and moisture control by speaking with a professional from Elevated Roofing.
