There is a wide range of factors that explain why your home’s flat roof may experience problems from time to time. In general, these issues often involve pooled water. This is water that puddles on your roof for 48 hours or more, usually after heavy rainfall, and can begin to cause serious problems for your home.
Other common causes of leaks include roof drains, skylights, parapets and a range of other penetrations. While less common than the reasons mentioned above, material shortage is another issue that can cause major headaches for your home’s roof. When a rubber membrane shrinks, it can pull off parapet walls or drip edge with it.
When you have a flat roof, metal is often the way to go. The true test of the popularity of metal flat roofs can be seen by virtue of the fact that it has been used for many decades. In this time, it has proven to be a durable and relatively eco-friendly option for homeowners who want a long-lasting material that won’t adversely affect the environment.
More recently, metal roofs have started to be replaced by aluminum, but metal still remains a reliable choice for homeowners looking for a sturdy and reliable roofing material.
