Put simply, a Winter Gardens roof with working drainage outlasts an identical roof covering without it by years. Keeping a dated maintenance file on a Winter Gardens property pays for itself the earliest time a claim is questioned. Put simply, drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Winter Gardens building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves. We see it on Winter Gardens roofs every week.
