Initial Inspection and Assessment

We begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your current roof structure and drainage needs. Our certified roof technicians examine your roof's pitch, material composition, and overall condition to identify optimal drainage solutions.

Designing Your New Roof Drainage System

Once we've gathered all necessary information, our design team creates a customized drainage plan for your property. We utilize specialized software to model water flow patterns and calculate optimal placement of drainage components.



Your design will account for local precipitation rates, roof dimensions, and surrounding landscape features. We carefully position each drainage element to prevent water pooling and ensure efficient runoff management.

Professional and Efficient Installation

With your approved design in hand, our installation team schedules the project at your convenience. We arrive with all necessary materials and equipment to complete the installation efficiently.


The installation typically involves:

  1. Preparing the roof surface
  2. Installing water diversion components
  3. Creating proper slope and channeling
  4. Connecting to ground-level drainage solutions


We conduct rigorous testing upon completion, simulating rainfall to verify proper water flow and drainage. This ensures your system functions as designed before we consider the project complete.

Benefits of Non-Gutter Roof Drainage Systems

Non-gutter drainage systems offer homeowners several advantages that traditional gutters simply cannot match. These innovative solutions combine functionality with design while minimizing maintenance needs.

Proper membrane installation significantly extends roof lifespan by providing superior waterproofing protection. We carefully seal all joints and connections to prevent water infiltration that can damage structural components.


Energy efficiency improvements come standard with many membrane options. Reflective membranes can reduce cooling costs by up to 30% during summer months by minimizing heat absorption.


Low maintenance requirements make membrane roofing an economical long-term investment. Most systems need only bi-annual inspections to ensure optimal performance.


Installation can often be completed without disrupting building operations. Our experienced teams work efficiently to minimize noise and interference with your daily activities.

Enhanced Aesthetics and Curb Appeal

Non-gutter drainage systems provide a cleaner, more streamlined appearance for your home's exterior. Unlike traditional gutters that can detract from architectural features, these systems remain virtually invisible, preserving your roof's natural lines and design elements.


The absence of visible gutters creates a more sophisticated and polished look that many homeowners prefer. This clean aesthetic particularly complements historic or custom-designed homes where preserving architectural integrity is essential.

Reduced Maintenance and Longevity


Traditional gutters require regular cleaning and maintenance to prevent clogs from leaves and debris. Non-gutter systems eliminate this ongoing chore, saving homeowners significant time and effort each year.


These systems don't have the typical failure points of traditional gutters. There are no seams that can separate, no brackets that can fail, and no downspouts that can clog or disconnect.

Improved Water Management and Protection


Non-gutter systems effectively channel water away from your home's foundation through specialized design elements. These systems disperse water over a larger area rather than concentrating it at downspout locations.


This more even distribution helps prevent soil erosion and landscape damage common with traditional gutter systems. Your gardens and landscaping benefit from more natural, controlled water distribution.
