The ponding issues were caused by the lack of any slope being built on the roof, and it was not allowing water to drain properly. If the blisters were not
fixed, then the foam underneath the SPF coating would become saturated, which could cause water to leak into the units below.Ultimately not fixing the blisters would necessitate tearing the foam roof off and installing a new roof.
