Flat Roof Essentials
To guarantee that flat roofing performs as intended, some measures must be taken. Although flat roofs are generally thought to be perfectly level, they really have a small slope of about 10% to keep rainwater from collecting. Although a gutter system should be installed on all roofing types to divert water away, this slope is particularly significant for adequate drainage on flat roofs. For these systems to effectively remove water, they need to be installed appropriately and serviced on a regular basis. Furthermore, certain materials that have been shown to work well in this kind of roofing environment are necessary for flat roofing. It takes certain equipment and knowledge to install or maintain a flat roof, and not all roofing companies have the equipment or qualified roofers to handle these kinds of jobs well.
About Flat Roof Replacement
Replacing a flat roof is a meticulous process, akin to performing open-heart surgery. It demands precision, as any skipped steps or lapses in safety protocol can lead to system failure. The old roofing materials are removed, stripped down to the rafters, and replaced from the bottom up. We thoroughly evaluate the rafters while we’re at it to make sure they’re still robust enough to support the new roofing materials. We will replace the rafters if it is determined that they are weakened, damaged, or antiquated.
Once the rafters are addressed, we carefully rebuild the roofing system layer by layer, making sure each layer is correctly positioned and securely fastened before moving on to the next. This meticulous approach minimizes the risk of the roofing materials failing or detaching. After completing the installation, we manage the cleanup by bringing in a large dumpster to remove all old materials, disposing of them at the landfill as part of our service.
