Flat Roof Replacement in the Rancho Equestrian District: what actually fails
Barns, shelters and covered arenas are long-span low slope, and ponding between purlins is the usual finding. A deflection that would not matter on a house holds standing water on a thirty-foot span, and on an equestrian property the consequence of a leak is ruined feed and bedding rather than a stained ceiling.
Burbank has a great deal of low-slope roof that is not on a commercial building: rear additions, converted garages, carport roofs, patio covers tied into the main house, and genuinely flat mid-century houses. All of it sheds water slowly, which means it depends on the drainage working rather than on gravity doing the job for it.
- Every structure on the parcel, house and outbuildings alike
- Debris load in valleys and gutters under the park canopy
- Long-span low slope on barns and shelters, checked for ponding
- What is stored under each roof, because it sets the priority
