Roof Drainage issues in Tyler, Tx

At Shepherd Roofing and Renovations, we take pride in our commitment to restoring not just roofs but also peace of mind for homeowners. Recently, we embarked on a project in Tyler, TX, where a homeowner approached us with concerns about roof drainage issues leading to leaking into their home. Upon inspection, we discovered a cascade of issues stemming from inadequate drainage, leading to wood trim damage and detachment of the coping cap.

The homeowner’s distress mirrored the challenges we encountered during our estimate. Not only was the gutter system failing to channel water efficiently, but the resulting pooling of water had begun to compromise the structural integrity of the property.

Start of the Project

Once our plan was approved, our team at Shepherd Roofing and Renovations executed a comprehensive solution to address the underlying issues. The project commenced with the careful removal of copper flashing, two rows of shingles, damaged wood trim, and the detached coping cap. An in-depth inspection revealed compromised sheathing, necessitating its replacement to ensure a solid foundation for the forthcoming repairs.

To sort out the drainage inefficiencies, we implemented a strategic approach, installing tapered insulation to facilitate positive water flow toward the existing drains.

Recognizing the importance of durable, reliable materials, we opted for Reinforced TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) along the drain channel, known for its exceptional strength and weather resistance.

One notable aspect of this project was the incorporation of custom-made TPO scuppers into the drainage system. These solutions not only addressed the immediate issue but also enhanced the overall functionality and aesthetics of the gutters, ensuring long-term performance and visual appeal.

Copper Flashing

As we progressed, the significance of copper flashing became evident. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, copper flashing offers unparalleled durability and corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for safeguarding vulnerable areas of the roof against moisture intrusion and environmental elements.

By reinstating copper flashing as part of our restoration efforts, we provided the homeowner with a robust defense against future leaks and structural damage.

With attention to detail, we replaced the shingles, ensuring a seamless integration with the existing roofing system. Finally, the coping cap was carefully reset and sealed, completing the transformation and fortifying the home against the elements.

The completion of this project not only resolved the immediate concerns of the homeowner but also exemplified our unwavering commitment to quality craftsmanship and customer satisfaction.
