Quick question
We own a 1970's bungalow. The roof is very low pitch with concrete tiles, Ludlow or something like that. The roofs right through the street are slowly failing, mainly the mineral/bitumen felt. It's mainly failing on the eaves where the low pitch becomes almost flat.
My question
Why,at the bottom of the low pitch does the roof almost become flat over the eaves. This is where the felt is sagging and then ripping which slowly travels upwards.
I'm going to refelt, batton and add felt support (plastic strips) but why does it flatten out? Some crazy 70's experimental idea?
Thanks
