Methods of correction

Sometimes a drain can simply be enlarged to accomodate more flow and to allow tree debris to pass and not back-up onto roof.

At other times the drain can be lowered in the wall, recessed in the deck, or tapered to allow for better drainage.

Very often, inslulation can be added to the roof, to bring up the level of the roof in the area and push the water to the existing drains.

Sometimes the pond is such that a supplemental deck drain needs to be added. This drain is effective when the pond is too far away from existing drains, that the water cannot be forced towards them, or when conditions on the roof do not allow for other types of correction.

Yet at other times, a combination of methods will give the best results. Your Roofsavers Locke Roofing inspector will be able to identify the best, most cost effective solution to your ponding water problems.
