The Ponding Water Problem
The Problem
Water that sits for more than 48 hours after rain accelerates membrane breakdown and leads to leaks over time.

Flat Roof FAQs
How long does a flat roof coating last?
A properly applied waterproof coating typically lasts 10–15 years with regular maintenance and inspection.
Can you repair a small section without redoing the whole roof?
Yes — most flat roof issues can be addressed with a targeted patch or coating repair rather than a full replacement.
What causes most flat roof leaks?
Ponding water, membrane seams that have separated, and damaged flashing around vents or edges are the most common culprits.
How do I know if my flat roof needs repair or full replacement?
If the membrane is intact and damage is localized, a repair or recoating is usually enough. Widespread cracking, multiple leaks, or a membrane past its expected lifespan usually means it's time for a replacement.
Is a flat roof more prone to leaks than a sloped roof?
Flat roofs have less natural drainage, so proper slope, drainage, and regular maintenance are especially important. With correct installation and upkeep, they perform reliably.
