Flat Roofing
Local Flat Roof Replacement
The majority of commercial roofing services feature a flat roof on top of them. The term flat roof is actually a bit of a misnomer since any correctly installed flat roof solution will employ a very low slope that facilitates the water draining off of the roof. Some incorrectly installed systems do not allow the water to drain off of the roof, and small ponds can form, sometimes lasting many days.
The nature of a flat roof is that Rainwater does not drain as rapidly from it as it does from, say, a shingle roof. That extended contact means that water has a great chance of finding any small nook or imperfection in the roof and leaks inside the building. At Jewett Roofing, we realize that the highest quality materials must be used, and special attention to detail is required in order to ensure that the rain stays out in the building and the inside stays dry.
