    MILL BASIN ROOFING REPAIRS 101: YOUR GARAGE ROOF

    Our location has a strong influence on how we design our homes. Local weather conditions are an important factor to be considered and can make drastic differences to the durability of any structure. Your garage roofing is no exception. For garage roofing, most people choose between flat roofing or a pitched roof. Which style you choose makes a big difference and the right choice all depends on your location. Listed below are examples of big concerns that people have when picking out roofing solutions for their garage. Flat roofing on garages and snowfall If your area receives heavy snowfall during winter, you might be questioning the effectiveness of a flat roof. Roofs are designed to handle certain loads — lateral pressures generated by strong winds and downwards pressures due to the weight of snow. When your garage roof is covered in snow, this will generate a downward load which engineering textbooks call a multiplying factor. Crunching the numbers to see exactly how the snowfall in your area will affect your roof can be pretty complicated and best left to engineers. All you should know is that this will depend on your location. The best way to get your answer is to talk to a professional Mill Basin contractor and see what he has to say on the matter.

    A pitched roof stands a slightly better chance of handling areas that receive snowfall but if you get particularly heavy snowfall in your area, a pitch roof may get the same amount of snow as a flat exterior since snow tends to pack up anyway. Heavy rainfall and its effects on your garage roof Rain is a totally different concern since it simply drains away without issue so long as you have a fully functional roof. If you have a flat roof, you need to make sure that it is installed properly during the construction phase. A common issue with flat roofs is water getting stuck in small hollows and staying there for long durations causing water damage to the entirety of the structure. So long as you have reliable Mill Basin roofers, this should not be an issue. The best way to keep your garage roof in good working condition is through regular maintenance. Schedule days for checking the gutters and downspouts making sure it is totally clear of debris — especially if you have a parapet around the perimeter. If water is blocked in any way, then water will begin gathering in very short time leading to very expensive repairs in no time at all.

    When dealing with rainfall, whether you have a pitched exterior or a flat roof, you have to always check to ensure that your gutters are working properly. Both for your home and your garage roof. Your roof protects the entirety of everything underneath it and it is well worth your time to provide adequate protection for it. Finding reliable Mill Basin roofers will ensure that you get the best protection for your garage under any conditions.
