Owner paid nearly $10,000. to get this roof done

New plywood deck and Built up tar & gravel.

note roofer re-used original flashings and did not slope toof to the roof drain.

We can now swim up there.

Owner now wondering what to do next

Stock it with bass and bluegill.

That 4th photo is bizarre.

It looks like that flashing terminates into the brick wall, but I see the brick wall is actually across the street.

The proportions and scale of the photo really missed with myperception.

Oh, and I wouldn't bless any of that stuff. Just state the facts. It holds water - not drains it, and the flashings should have all been replaced properly.

That's a lot of weight,

A gallon of water contains 231 cubic inches and weighs 8.33lbs. A 10ft. by 10ft. by 1in. pond contains 62.34 gallons weighing 520lbs, which is all added to the dead weight of the BUR, gravel and deck.

ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

I agree as stated in report

Ponding, water accumulation, does not slope to drain, flashings to be repaired and repalced as required.

New homeowner not happy since new roof was thrown in and paid by seller as part of deal.

This is why buyers shouldn't agree to having sellers fix things discovered during an inspection. It usually ends up costing more later.

Yep, big mistake. Get moolah.
