Fall Roof Check: Catch Problems Early

Clogged Drains Can Become a Major Roofing Problem

A clogged roof drain may seem like a small maintenance issue, but it can quickly become a much bigger roofing problem.

Leaves, dirt, debris, and even ice can block drains and prevent water from leaving a commercial roof. The result is ponding water, which adds weight to the roof and can put additional stress on seams, flashing, and other vulnerable areas.

Standing water can also find its way into small openings that might otherwise go unnoticed. Over time, that moisture can damage roofing materials and insulation and lead to leaks inside the building.

However, this is one of the easiest problems to help prevent. Regularly inspecting and clearing roof drains, particularly after storms and during seasonal roof maintenance, can protect your roof and extend its useful life.

Simple preventive maintenance can make a meaningful difference in the longevity of a roofing system and reduce unnecessary repairs and waste.
