Our Roof Drainage Maintenance Services

We focus on all the critical parts that keep a roof drainage system working well. Our work includes checking for problems, clearing out blockages, and fixing leaks to protect your building from water damage.

Comprehensive  Drain Inspections

We start by carefully inspecting every drain on your roof. Using cameras and sensors, we check inside pipes and drains to spot cracks, rust, or areas that could cause clogs.


We also examine the surrounding roof surface for signs of water pooling. Standing water can damage your roof and lead to leaks. Our detailed inspections help us create a clear report of the system’s condition.


By finding small problems early, we prevent bigger repairs and ensure your roof drains water away properly.

Gutter and Downspout Cleaning

Cleaning gutters and downspouts is essential to keep water flowing freely. We remove leaves, dirt, and debris that block water paths.


We pay special attention to places where gutters meet downspouts. These spots often collect more debris and cause backups. We flush the entire system with water to confirm everything drains correctly.


Regular cleaning stops water from overflowing and damaging the building’s walls and foundation.

Debris and Blockage Removal

Blockages inside your drainage pipes can cause serious water buildup. We clear all types of debris, from leaves and trash to mud and small branches.


Our team uses special tools like drain snakes and high-pressure water jets to reach deep clogs. We also check for objects stuck in strainers or leaf guards.


Prompt debris removal protects your roof and prevents water backup that can harm your building structure.

Leak Detection and  Repair

Leaks can weaken your roof’s structure and cause costly damage. We use moisture meters and infrared cameras to find leaks hidden under roofing material.


Once located, our technicians repair cracks, pipe joints, or damaged drainage components. We replace worn-out seals and flashing to stop leaks permanently.


Our goal is to keep your roof watertight and your building safe from water damage over time.

Our Advanced Maintenance Solutions

We focus on improving drainage systems with smart upgrades and protective parts to extend their life. Our work ensures water flows properly and components stay safe from damage over time.

Drainage System Upgrades

We replace old drains and pipes with newer, stronger materials that resist corrosion and blockages. This reduces the risk of leaks and backups. We install larger drain pipes when needed to handle heavy rain better. This prevents water pooling, which can harm flat roofs.


Our team also adds cleanouts for easier inspection and clearing of clogs. This makes regular maintenance faster and less disruptive to your building. We review the existing slope of the roof to make sure water flows smoothly toward the drains. If needed, we adjust the surface to avoid standing water.

Installation of Protective Components

We add guards and covers to drains to stop leaves and debris from clogging the system. These components help keep drains clear without frequent cleaning.


Our protective linings reduce wear on metal drains caused by chemicals or weather exposure. This extends their lifespan and lowers repair costs. We also install overflow scuppers or drains that protect your roof if main drains get blocked. This reduces the chance of water damage inside the building.


Using these protective features, we help maintain efficient drainage and avoid costly issues caused by blocked or damaged parts.
