Common Roof Drain Problems
To effectively service all draining needs, we must understand how issues arise:
– Debris Clogs: Leaves and sediment block efflux, causing hazardous backup from poor water flow.
– Corrosion: Drain bodies and attachments like clamping rings deteriorate when unprotected from weathering.
– Loose Flanges: Mounting substrate deterioration results in flanges no longer holding drains securely in place.
– Cracked Piping: PVC, ABS, or clay underground pipes transmitting roof outflow slowly degrade without protective coatings.
– Ponding Water: Poor drainage slopes in membrane or deterioration points drains cannot handle capacity.
Our Roof Drain Repairs
To remedy problems while maintaining optimal performance:
– Debris Removal: Snaking and power washing cleans interior drain pipes fully unblocking flow paths.
– Flange Replacement: New flashing-compatible flanges fasten drains downwind and watertight.
– Piping Repairs: Damaged segments are cut out and replaced using compatible joining solvents/connections.
– Corrosion Treatment: Seamless elastomeric or asphaltic coatings fully encapsulate drains against the weather.
– Sloping Adjustments: Additional drainage or tapered insulation installs address ponding concerns.
Our expertise ensures issues are fully resolved through high-quality lasting repairs coded to manufacturers requirements.
Additional Maintenance Tips
Routine inspections minimize costly repairs down the road:
– Twice-Yearly Checks: Remove potential debris before high rain seasons and ensure fastening integrity.
– Screw Tightening: Periodically confirm all drain attachment screws resist vibrational compromise.
– Coating Renewal: Every 5-10 years reapply weatherproofing treatments depending on climate.
Considering frequent exposure to elements, maintaining fully-functional drains with C&M helps optimize roof performance benefits for decades to come. Drain repairs deliver enduring protection from water damage risks.
