Concerns about how the COVID-19 pandemic will affect the school year are top of mind for Milwaukee Public School (MPS) officials, so leaky roofs are among the last things they need on their plate. Thankfully, the district’s 200-plus roofs are in top working order due to the Atlas Roofing Corporation's Certified Drainage Program™ (CDP).
As previously covered by RC, the project began more than 20 years ago when Dennis Fula, former crew leader for the MPS roofing team, sought out Atlas Roofing to put together a program that would extend the life of every roof in the district. Most of them were worn down due to age and weathering, and according to Fula, a single roof sometimes had more than 100 leaks.
