There are three main causes of leaks in a flat roof system.

1. The most common is lack of proper maintenance. When dirt and debris accumulate on the roof, the reflective properties are diminished and the roof heats up. This causes the coating to deteriorate more rapidly. Water passes through small cracks and seams with the potential for major damage to your ceilings, walls, floors and furniture. A thorough annual cleaning is recommended for keeping your roof cool and waterproof.

2. Leaks are also caused by partially blocked scuppers and drains. During the heavy rains of the monsoon season, water can quickly back up and enter your home through cracks or broken seals around skylights and vents. .

3. A third cause is ponding. Where low spots develop on your roof the water pools and accumulates dirt and debris. Ponding amplifies the heating effect of the sun and causes the reflective coating and roof membrane to degrade allowing water to penetrate your home.
