However, the local ABC roofing supply company has advised me that alligatoring is a sign of the roofs near end and suggested that I can three course it with mesh and cement topped with granules to hopefully get more life out of it.

Also mention that water less than a 1/2' deep isn't much of a concern as well. Reading through some of the post here concerning flat roofs there is mention that alligatoring isn't necessarily an issue as long as there are no flaps and it isn't through the base ply. Also there is an area of ponding that is less than a 1/2' deep. The roof looks to be in good shape other than alligatoring at the peak and a few other small areas, and a few areas where the cap sheet is lifting up from the drip edge. The roof has minor water curling issues in the corners (2 foot extended eves), but no leaks within the home. The roof is 9 years old low slope that was initially installed using mechanically fastened single ply base sheet with hot-mopped adhered granulated SBS mod-bit cap sheet. My home is in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. I have a few questions I hope to get answers to. I have read through several roofing post and answers and I am very impressed with knowledgeable members here.
