Flat Roof Drainage Improvement – Cricket Installation

With the rainy season approaching, Southern California property owners face significant El Niño weather challenges. Therefore, investing in a proactive flat roof drainage improvement remains an essential step for long term building maintenance. Modern Solution Roofing provides professional flat roof repair, full roof replacement, and complete drainage improvement services throughout the San Fernando Valley and the Santa Clarita area. Ultimately, our expert team focuses on practical roofing solutions designed to protect your home and extend the service life of your low-slope roofing system.

Scope of Work Performed:

Our team installed three custom roof crickets in ponding areas to build an intentional slope and redirect standing water. This system reduces prolonged ponding and minimizes water accumulation, preventing premature roof deterioration or leaks.

Flat Roof Drainage Improvement Options

When water collects in low spots on a building, prolonged ponding can quickly accelerate material degradation. Consequently, property owners often notice persistent leaks after heavy storms. To resolve these issues, we regularly recommend custom solutions like flat roofing services that directly target problematic ponding areas. Furthermore, we ensure all projects maintain proper slope parameters to guide runoff directly toward established downspouts and drains.

Our Cricket Installation Process

Our skilled team installed three custom roof crickets in three separate ponding areas of the existing flat roof. Each of these crickets measures approximately 2 feet × 4 feet to create a stable slope. As a result, this simple addition dramatically reduces the risk of premature roof deterioration or structural water leaks.
