What You Should Know About Flat Roof Pooling
Katelyn Lewis • November 15, 2023
If your flat roof looks like it could double as a swimming pool a couple days after a storm, it’s time to have it assessed by a professional roofer.
Flat roofs are nearly horizontal in pitch, with the slightest slope to allow water to drain, rather than sit, on top of the roof. If, however, the roof’s pitch is not steep enough, it’s experiencing any sagging or uneven areas, or the roof has inadequate or clogged drainage, it can cause water to pool or accumulate on your flat roof.
Flat roof pooling can cause foundational, water damage, mold and mildew issues for your home, so you want to address pooling promptly. At Retex, we identify any underlying issues and provide appropriate solutions to address the pooling problem effectively.
