Flat Roof Clog, Pond and Leak

Flat roof problems - easily clogged gutter downspouts lead to ponding water.

Flat roofs are not ideal - they have a lot of issues with standing water from easily clogged gutters. Ponding water that remains on the roof will eventually find a way in to the substructure. This can easily lead to extensive water damage. Flat roofs require regular maintenance and need to be kept clear of debris as much as possible.

Easily clogged gutter - not good.

Standing water next to the wall to roof transition - prime location for water to enter the sub-structure.

Water damage from the inside. This is the same corner where the standing water is collecting on the roof. It is getting through the roof and wall and damaging the drywall inside.
