What can you guess about rainfall from the slanting and flat roofs?

Slanting roofs are more likely to have rain gutters installed to help direct runoff water away from the building, whereas flat roofs may be more prone to pooling water if not designed with proper drainage. Additionally, slanting roofs may be less likely to experience leaks or seepage compared to flat roofs which can have a higher risk of water infiltration.


Are copper roofs affected by acid rain?

Yes, copper roofs can be affected by acid rain. Acid rain can cause corrosion and pitting on copper surfaces, leading to a greenish patina forming on the roof over time. Regular maintenance and protective coatings can help mitigate the effects of acid rain on copper roofs.


What would happen if high speed winds blew over roofs of building?

High speed winds blowing over roofs of buildings can cause damage such as roof shingles or tiles being torn off, structural damage if the roof is not properly secured, and potential water leaks if the roof is compromised. It is important for buildings to be properly designed and maintained to withstand high wind events.


What is ice and water shield?

The self-adhering underlayment below shingles on residential sloped roofs that prevents the water leaks in roofs caused by the melting during the day of snow on roofs and the freezing of that melt during the night that climbs up from the bottom roof edge.


Are metal roofs safe in an electrical storm?
