Flat Roofing by Trusted Men
Simplify Maintenance with Flat Roof Installation
During the last century, flat roofing became a hallmark of modernist architecture, and today’s home styles continue the trend by incorporating flat roof design with sloped roofs for a contemporary look. Here in the Northeast, suburban and traditional homes often have elements like porches, garages, and small additions that feature flat or low slope roofs. The strong horizontal lines of flat roofing are pleasing to the eye, but an aging flat roof is notorious for springing leaks when the region is hit with heavy rains and snow.
Poorly Installed Flat Roofing Problems
Flat roofs are generally economical to install and easy to maintain, but poor workmanship and inferior materials can lead to some of these common problems:
- Pitch is too low. If the slight slope of the roof is too low or the surface is not uniform, water can pool & cause leaking.
- Clogged downspouts & gutters. Leaves & debris prohibit drainage & leave water standing on the roof.
- Missing or improperly installed flashing. Metal flashing around skylights, chimneys, and vents prevents water from seeping in around them.
- Shoddy repairs. Tracking down and repairing the source of a leak is the only way to be sure that no further damage will occur.
