WHAT’S THE WATER DOING?
Water collecting on a roof
Roof ponding calls for safe access and a review of outlets, scuppers and overflow routes. Do not climb onto a wet roof. Persistent ponding or visible deformation may need assessment beyond drain cleaning.
What to look for.
- Where is water collecting and which outlets serve that area?
- Are drain strainers or scuppers obstructed?
- Is there a secondary overflow route?
Observe only from a safe place. Do not touch electrical equipment in wet areas or climb onto a wet roof.
