The roof on your property has to be installed with care. An engineering team must identify the problems that might come about around your property. Let’s look at a few of the most common errors engineering teams could make when installing a roof:
- The installation might be missing a drip edge. Failing to allow water to drip off of the roof the right way can cause damages a deck, foundation, or attic.
- The slope on the roof is too intense. A low slope can cause water to seep into an attic. That water might leak into the foundation if the slope is high.
- The shingles or tiles were not cut to fit around the roof vents.
- Nails might be exposed after the construction process. Such nails are also known as shiners. These nails may become loose over time.
- The step flashing around a roof might not be appropriately treated. The flashing could be tucked beneath the step flashing and counterflashing. The material would be exposed and likely to experience damage as a result.
- The tiles are not measured accordingly. This includes problems where the tiles might overlap with each other too much or might produce a few bald spots where the base of the roof would be exposed.
Engineering teams need to ensure that they can avoid these common roof installation errors. Talk with an engineering group to see what that grouping can do to keep your installation looking beautiful without coming across such risks or concerns.
