Is ponding water on my roof OK?

Ponding water on your roof may lead to severe damage if left unaddressed. Roofs that are flat or have an inadequate slope can cause water to pool for too long, leading to problems such as rotting wood, algae growth, and broken roofing materials. Roof repairs become necessary when water has been ponding for too long because the structure of the roof is weakened. It is important to have any issues with your roof checked out by a professional as soon as possible to ensure further damage doesn’t occur. Roof repairs are not only expensive but also time consuming, so it is best to take preventive measures whenever possible and check your roof regularly for signs of damage.
