Roof Saddle

A roof saddle is a raised structure installed between roof penetrations such as chimneys or equipment to divert water away from vulnerable areas. It improves drainage and prevents water accumulation. In wet climates, saddles are essential for reducing leak risks and enhancing water flow efficiency around complex roof structures.
