Eaves, Soffits and Fascias
Eaves are the edges of the roof that overhang your building. Soffits are the underneath portion of the eaves that face the ground. A soffit is a separate piece from the roof itself. Fascias are the narrow, vertical pieces that connect the eaves and the soffits.
Eaves, soffits and facias are all integral parts of your home's roof drainage system. Eaves, because they hang away from the structure, help to direct rainwater and other moisture away from your home. Soffits and fascias fit snugly together with the eaves to prevent the water from doubling back under the eaves and into your home. Eaves, soffits and facias that are improperly installed and sealed can cause moisture and rain to seep into your attic, leading to mold and mildew problems.
