How to Drain Water from a Flat Roof
Proper water drainage is crucial for maintaining the longevity of flat roofs. Without an efficient drainage system, water pooling can lead to leaks, structural damage, and costly repairs. At Scaffs India, we provide expert solutions for flat roof drainage and maintenance.
1. Types of Flat Roof Drainage Systems
- Interior Drains: Installed at the roof’s lowest points, directing water through internal pipes.
- Scuppers: Openings on the roof’s edges that channel water away from the structure.
- Gutters: Attached along the roof’s perimeter to collect and guide water safely away.
- Sloped Insulation: Creates a slight slope to encourage water flow toward drains or scuppers.
