💧 Is Ponding Water a Concern on Your Roof?
If water is still sitting on your roof 48 hours after rainfall, it may be more than just a puddle—it could be a warning sign.
Ponding water can lead to:
💧 Premature membrane deterioration
⚠️ Increased risk of leaks
🌱 Algae and vegetation growth with discoloration
🏢 Added stress on the roofing system
🔧 Damage around seams, flashings, and penetrations
Common causes include clogged drains, poor drainage, settled insulation, or low areas in the roof system.
The good news- Ponding water doesn't always mean you need a new roof. Identifying the cause early can help determine whether maintenance, repairs, or drainage improvements can correct the issue.
At Manchester Roofing, we specialize in commercial and industrial roofing and can help identify problem areas before they turn into costly leaks.
