Common Problems with Flat Roofs
- A flat roof may be more susceptible to leaking than a conventionally sloped roof. Since flat roofs are nearly parallel to the ground, they have a natural tendency to collect rainwater and runoff.
- Many flat roofs are sealed with an asphalt membrane, which is designed to protect the roof from UV radiation and water damage. Over time, and as your building shifts and settles on its foundation, the asphalt membrane on top of your flat roof may begin to buckle.
- Another common problem with flat roofs is that they are more likely to develop standing pools of water. Your flat roof may be most likely to develop pooling water after a heavy rainstorm. If these pools of water are left to sit for too long, they can damage your roofing materials and create leaks
Why are flat roofs popular?
Flat roofs are economical to construct. They reduce the volume of the building thus reducing energy costs
What maintenance is required?
Regular maintenance of flat roofs is still required, as they are less forgiving than steeply sloped roofs. The most common problems are that rainwater outlets become blocked with leaves and other windblown debris.

Cadence Park? #NotWorthIt!
No need to worry about TCE or landfill at all because the roof is about to collapse!
This nothing bro. Go to the Elllwood thread. There?s a homeowner complaining about the leaky roof and stuff. Also, I brought up to the top designer guy that goes on TI. We debate about flat roofs and the traditional housing roofs. (Look at my previous posts, I?m too lazy to look it up.)
