The type of roofing known as flat roofing has a very slight pitch that helps with water drainage. When compared with other types of roofing, it looks almost level. Flat roofs are not uncommon, especially in commercial buildings. They may also cover some residential homes and a row of garages. The use of a flat roof covering often has something to do with the sort of building that the flat roof covers up.
The life expectancy of a flat roof relies on the materials used and the conditions in which it was built. Generally speaking, a flat roof lasts between 15 and 30 years. The materials used for construction figure prominently in this equation, with the exception, of course, of the maintenance factor that was already alluded to. Two materials traditionally used on flat roofs are much more apt to fail early than they are to succeed in providing an adequately waterproof seal.
Flat roofs can be covered with an assortment of materials—built-up roofing (BUR), for instance, or stretched-out waterproof membranes like TPO or EPDM. The pros can even cover a flat roof in the same material used in a liquid-applied system. Despite the diversity in materials, each type has its ideal uses and benefits—advantages you can best discuss with an expert.
Regular inspections and cleanliness are crucial for the upkeep of a flat roof. This means you should remove loose trash from the surface and ensure that the roof is not damaged or punctured by anything sharp. Not only is this good practice, but it also more or less keeps the roof safe from exposed forms of damage that might eventually result in a leak.
Indeed, flat roofs are meant to withstand copious rainfall. They have a minor slope that enables rainwater to run off. In addition, proper drainage systems are put in place. The secret here is maintenance; regular maintenance ensures the drainage system does its job. Its (maintenance's) importance can't be overstated.
How much it costs to install a flat roof largely depends on what you build it with and how big it needs to be. Flat roofs can be quite economical and a good choice for many buildings, especially when compared to sloped roofs requiring more (potentially pricier) materials and labor. All the same, the final expense of a flat roof can vary a lot—mostly depending on what you want your roof to do and how long you expect it to endure.
Most building types can support flat roofing. This is why they are so widespread in commercial architecture. They are also commonly found in residential structures. The hardworking team at Next Door Roofing can take a look at your setup to see if a flat-top option is right for you.
There are a few key indicators that your flat roof needs to be replaced. The most obvious is if it has started to leak with any regularity, especially after a rainstorm. Another sign is if you can see visible damage when you get up on the roof to take a look around. Even if all appears well, you may want to consider replacing your flat roof if it is over 20 years of age. A flat roof rarely lasts much longer than that. We recommend our customers have a professional come out to inspect their flat roofs on an annual basis.
Extra space on a roof is never something to be taken lightly. It's often an opportunity to use what could be a blank canvas. Whether it's for government-mandated HVAC units—you need them, and they have to go somewhere—a living roof, or even just a roof deck, the flat roof presents a lot of possibilities. Those who maintain or install these types of roofs will tell you that a roof is easier to work on when you do not have to overcome the geometric constraints provided by working on a pitched or curved one.
