Very rainy part of CA. Snow is rare.Where is the roof located? In the north with snowy weather?I just bought a modern home in a rainy area. The home was built in 2010. It has a butterfly roof with a cricket to get water to the spouts. New roof installed in 2022.
I can’t reverse course on this house without losing my earnest money. But I’ve read online that since the V shape of the roof brings water to the center of the house for collection etc, this roof design can be a source of water issues if not designed and executed properly.
Can someone talk me off of a ledge here? I’m freaking out that I made the worst decision possible. I really wanted a low maintenance home for the long term and now I’m horrified that I’ve condemned myself to water issues with this particular roof design.
Can anyone with architectural, engineering, or building experience help me? Maybe this panic is overblown?
