Scuppers in Orlando

Metal roofing and fabrication in Orlando, Florida, contends with significant humidity and intense heat year-round. While not directly on the coast, the region still experiences the effects of a subtropical climate, including heavy rainfall and the potential for hurricane-force winds. The existing building stock varies, with many structures built to withstand these environmental factors.

What to keep in mind locally

Building owners should consider the impact of high humidity on material longevity and potential for corrosion, especially for non-stainless steel fasteners.
Hurricane preparedness is crucial; metal roofing offers excellent wind resistance when properly installed and fastened.
The intense sun and heat can affect material expansion and contraction, requiring appropriate detailing and installation techniques.
Regular inspections are recommended to ensure the integrity of the roofing system against common weather challenges.

What the work involves

This service involves the installation or repair of scuppers, which are typically metal boxes or pipes that extend through the roof’s edge. The work ensures a clear and functional pathway for rainwater to exit the roof surface and be directed away from the building’s structure.

When this comes up

When a building has a flat or low-slope roof that requires a drainage system.
When existing scuppers are damaged, corroded, or blocked.
When a new roof installation or a significant roof repair necessitates updated or new drainage components.
When water is observed pooling on the roof surface, indicating a drainage issue.
