Understanding the Importance of Lopez Island Flat Roof Maintenance
                     UNDERSTANDING THE IMPORTANCE 
OF FLAT ROOF MAINTENANCE
Flat roofs are not only different from the traditional 
sloped roofs in shape, but their Olympia 
exterior maintenance is also more important than 
those sloped roofs. At the time of rain or snowfall, 
water or snow easily flow down from the sloped roofs, 
but it is comparatively tough to get rid of water or 
snow from a flat roof.
AN EXAMPLE TO UNDERSTAND 
THE IMPORTANCE OF FLAT 
ROOF MAINTENANCE
For example, if six inches of layer of snow falls 
on a flat roof, it will remain 6 inches in 
thickness, whereas a sloped roof will have a 
comparatively thinner layer of that snow. This is 
because flat roofs require more maintenance.
THE DIFFERENCE IN THE 
MATERIAL USED IN BOTH TYPES 
OF ROOFS
The materials used in both the types of roofs are 
different.  The traditional sloped roofs are 
generally made of terracotta tiles, while the flat 
roofs are made of roofing felt or similar kinds of 
materials. Thus, flat roofs are more prone to get 
damaged.
THE IMPORTANCE OF FLAT ROOF 
MAINTENANCE
Since flat roofs can be easily damaged, it is 
important to get your flat roof inspected on 
regular intervals.
