Ponding Water Correction

Standing water that lingers on a flat roof for more than 48 hours puts steady stress on a membrane and the deck underneath. Ponding water correction addresses the low spots and drainage problems that let water collect instead of running off, using tapered systems and re-sloping to restore a clean path to the drains and scuppers.

How the Problem Is Found

Drone Roof Inspections — aerial passes map low spots and drainage patterns across the full roof surface.
Infrared Roof Moisture Scanning — scanning checks whether pooled areas have already let moisture into the membrane below.

Correcting the Slope

Once problem areas are identified, correction typically involves building up tapered insulation or roofing material to redirect flow, paired with attention to the edges and outlets water needs to reach.

Flashing & Scupper Systems — sealed flashing and clear scuppers keep corrected slopes draining as intended.
TPO Roofing Systems and EPDM Rubber Roofing Membrane — common membrane choices for rebuilding a sloped surface over the corrected area.
