Abstract:
A water diverter for easy installation on a roof, the diverter comprising a base and one or more protruding ridges extending above the surface of the base. An upper edge of the base is inserted under shingles, and spaced-apart holes along the upper edge of the base receive nails or screws for securing the water diverter on the roof. The angled ridges divert water runoff on a roof away from entryways, doors, and window openings below the roof. The ridge on a first embodiment forms an inverted V-shape, on a second embodiment the ridge extends upward linearly along a first angle, with respect to the bottom edge, and on a third embodiment the ridge extends downward linearly along a second angle with respect to the bottom edge. The water diverter is formed in a mold using plastic material or it may be formed be bending a sheet of metal to form the ridge extending above the base area.
