WHAT IS ROOF PITCH
Posted on January 24, 2013 at 2:01 PM |
![]() |
Understanding the numbers Roof pitch
is the rise of the roof over the run of the roof. The rise is the
height of the roof, from the base to the top. For example, if a roof is 8
feet high and spreads out from the center covering 12 feet in each
direction, the rise over the run would be 8/12. Visualizing pitch Consider a right triangle. The bottom, horizontal line of the
triangle is the base of the roof. The straight, vertical line runs from
the base to the top for total height. This distance is the rise. The
angled line, from the top to the base, is the slope or run of the roof. Roof safety Roofing work is dangerous, and the more a roof slopes, the more
dangerous it is to work on. A roof with a pitch of 3/12 to 6/12 can be
walked on without difficulty. When the pitch reaches above 6/12, the
slope becomes difficult to work on. |

The smallest roof leak can cause considerable damage
to your home when left untreated. Water can invade a roof due to
missing shingles and flashing, rotten decking and gaps around skylights
and the chimney. The best way to prevent a roof leak is to routinely inspect your property, especially after a storm. The following tips can help you locate roof leaks before they get out of hand. After the storm Storms are one of the leading causes of roof damage.
After a major storm passes, go outside and inspect your home and
property. Look for shingles in your yard that might have blown off due
to high winds. If you have asphalt shingles, check your downspouts for
deposits of granules. They often get knocked off during hail storms and
then collect in the gutter system and downspouts. Check the attic Take a flashlight into the attic when it's raining.
Since water reflects light, you can shine the flashlight to check for
falling water. If you notice any water, mark the spot so that you can
follow through with repairs. Inspect your ceiling When a roof leaks, water often collects on your ceiling. If you
notice any brown or yellow stains on your ceiling, you have a roof leak. e. |

Patio roof leaks Patio
leaks have becomean all too common problem in South Florida as the
building boom of the past decade created an increase in poorly
constructed patio systems. Tying a patio into a building’s frame is an
important step in the construction process and one that is not often done
by some one with the proper experience that is needed. When building a
large number of properties in a short period of time,the possibility of
structural failures is increased. Patio
leaks can be devastating as they are very hard to pinpoint and the water
intrusion that the allow can seep directly into your , causing
significant water damage and health issues. Patio leaks however, do not
have to destroy your property. Early detection and preventative
maintenance can allow deficient areas to be found and corrected before
significant damage occurs.call us today if you have a florida room or
patio area that was added on to your home so we can inspect it and go
over possible preventive solutions |
