Faux balcony over porch leaking (stairs, bedroom, white, good)

[ac00]

So I have a faux balcony over the porch and every time it rains, water collects and starts dripping from the center down on the porch. Since the water is collected it takes a day or two for the drops to stop falling. Any ideas on how to fix/prevent rainwater from collecting or even if it drained from the side as opposed to the center would help.

TIA

Does it have gutters?

Any chance you could post a photo?

no gutters. something similar to this. i can see the water collected from Upstairs bedroom window.

The top has to have slope. Sounds like its flat or concave- not good. The longer it holds water the more severe the damage can become.

what are my options to fix it?

Without pics- it's hard to say.
But as I said before the top/roof needs pitch.

agreed. and unfortunately it is pretty common for builders to ignore flashing, sloping, etc. on "decorative" features.
