Roof membrane failure

Why isn’t there snow on the deck in that spot?  Looking closer, you see that the deck membrane has failed, together with the underlying structure.  If you note any seams or openings in your flat roof membrane, it’s important to seal them right away.  Water is unforgiving and leads to structural and insect damage if left unchecked.  This was discovered at a home inspection in Anacortes on Fidalgo Island.
