Maintenance & Cleaning
Roof drain inspections and preventative maintenance are key to roof longevity.
Inspections
• Roof drains should be inspected regularly and cleaned if necessary in order to maintain maximum
operating efficiency.
• Inspecting roof drains and roof tops regularly will help cut down on maintenance.
• It's very important to maintain a regular scheduled inspection especially in the fall as roof tops may
become extremely cluttered with leaves, weeds, and other debris that will effect the efficiency of
the roof drains and the sealants.
• Winter also requires regular inspections to make sure that roof drains are free and clear of ice and
snow allowing the drain to function properly.
Cleaning
1. Once you have inspected the roof, you should clean up any leaves, weeds, dirt or debris that may
be around the drain. Cleaning up first will keep more debris from entering the drain during
cleaning.
2. Remove the roof drain dome by unscrewing and removing from the flashing clamp.
3. Shine a flashlight down the drain to see if there is anything blocking the outlet or piping.
4. Remove any blockage or debris from the drain using your hand. Pour water down the drain to
determine if there is anything blocking the leader pipe.
5. If there are blockages in the piping, a pipe snake may be used to to clear the clog.
6. Once the clog or blockage is removed, use a pipe brush to remove any remaining light debris from
the sides of the drain. Use a water hose to run water down through the drain and flush out any
remaining debris.
7. Place the dome back on the clamping flange and screw into place.
