Ponding on flat roofs
Standing water puts steady pressure on seams and patches.
Stafford is a small city between Houston and Sugar Land along I-69. It has older homes, townhomes and lots of business buildings with flat roofs. Flat roofs and sloped roofs leak in very different ways.
Many Stafford neighborhoods were built decades ago, so homes may be on their second or third roof. Older roofs often leak at vents, flashing and worn shingles.
Along the main roads, offices, warehouses and shops often have flat or low-slope roofs. Water can pond on these roofs and find small splits in seams, around rooftop units and at drains.
