Can a roof assembly be affected by standing water?
While the above issues can be kept in check with regular inspections and routine maintenance or partial roof repairs, the long-term effect of standing water on the entire roof assembly is quite another matter. A ‘roof assembly’ is an engineered design, constructed of the following components:
