14 Apr It’s important to know how a roof works

It’s important to know how a roof works, what gutters go where and which flashing is to be used in a multitude of areas.

Box gutters not only need to be built correctly but also need to be built to take the expected roof water in extreme storms.  Lately I am finding so many box gutters are failing simply because they cannot handle the volume of water entering them.  When this happens, and there is no provision for emergency overflows to escape the build up, there is only one place for the water to go which is into your house.  This diagram shows a properly thought out and detailed roof system.
