Hi,

I have an older relative that has ridge vents and expanded metal sophits on
their house in Florida. The problem is, during Hurricane force storms, rain
blows "sideways" into the vent structures. I would like to hear from anyone
that has found good solutions to this problem.

Thank you

I believe in Florida, all ridge vent material must meet Dade County
(stringent) requirements . Sounds like a bad installation, which may
include the ridge being cut to wide, felt paper not properly bent back at
top, improper sealant bead, or material not approved for the elements.
