Don't wait for leaks. Proactively inspect the building envelope to ensure it can handle spring rain and humidity without failure.
Winter snow acts as an insulator and weight load; melting removes this protection, exposing the membrane to UV radiation and thermal cycles that can cause micro-fractures.
As snow melts, water volume increases rapidly. The physics involves managing ponding water pressure on flat roofs to prevent hydrostatic failure of sealants or flashings.
Proper post-winter inspection prevents water intrusion that can lead to interior mold, insulation saturation, and structural rot.
