Causes, Risks & Professional Solutions
Ponding water occurs when water remains on your roof for more than 48 hours after rainfall. In Metro Atlanta's heavy storm seasons, poor drainage can quickly turn into roof damage or leak points. Silver Rock Roofing identifies ponding issues, corrects drainage failures, and prevents long-term membrane deterioration.
