Describe the water accumulation
Identify where water repeatedly collects and the conditions observed, without climbing onto the roof. Mention known drains, interior leaks and work that has altered the roof.
A flat roof is not intended to leave water without a route to an outlet. If you notice recurring pooling, its cause should be assessed before selecting a correction. Drainage must be considered alongside slopes, outlets, obstacles and deck condition. Installing a new membrane does not automatically change how water moves across the roof.

The assessment distinguishes an outlet obstruction, insufficient slope and a possible deck issue. Equipment, upstands and available heights influence which corrections can be considered.
Tapered insulation may suit some projects, depending on the selected assembly. Ask how the proposal directs water and treats junctions; a structural alteration requires an appropriate assessment.

Not by itself. The membrane provides the waterproofing surface; water flow also depends on slopes, the deck and outlets. These components need to be considered together.
No. Roof area, deck, access, equipment and agreed work need to be assessed. Availability is confirmed by the team; this page does not reserve an intervention time.
