Flat Roofs
Typically used for commercial buildings, flat roofs are easy to install and maintain. Due to the fact that they have no slopes, these roofs can be great to house solar panels, gardens, and HVAC systems.
Better for Drier Climates
Flat roofs may seem rare, particularly for homes, but they’re actually quite popular in the more dry regions of the United States. Drier weather means architects don’t have to be concerned about water pooling and eventually leading to roof damage. The truth is, flat roof leaks are fairly common because water doesn’t roll off the way it does on pitched roofs. On a flat roof, water collects into pools until it evaporates. When water sits on any roof for an extended period of time, it has longer to exploit seams and weaknesses. If you are concerned that your flat roof may have a leak, here are some signs to look for:
- Water damage and stains on your ceiling and walls
- Bubbling paint
- Dripping water
- Mildew on the ceiling or exterior walls
If you have an older roof, or if you notice any of the signs listed above, it may be time for a flat roof replacement. WeatherProof Roofing has got you covered. Contact us today for a FREE estimate.
