What is Roof Plumbing?
Roof plumbing is a specialized field of plumbing,
with its own training, certification and areas of
expertise. Other titles include Metal Roof
Plumber and Steel Roofer. A Roof Plumber is a
specialist in metal roofing, covering roofing
itself, guttering and drainage. Using a
specialist may cost you a bit more, but you dont
end up with a gutter that falls the wrong way
i.e. the downpipe is at one end, but the gutter
falls the other way so the water goes nowhere
near the downpipe. This is just one example of
the many things that could affect your roof in
heavy rain.
