After closing the place early,we conducted our visual inspection of all the components involved.
We found the roof drain area in question after a diligent search.
Water stains were visible on the inside and still wet to the touch.it had rained hours previous to our visit,we also checked the roof,found tears on the material and the seams adjacent to the drain were badly worn out.keep in mind the drain happens to be the lowest spot on the roof and also suffers the most wear and tear with the large amounts of water.especially after a heavy storm.
We removed all the loose granules from the affected area,swept cleaned and primed the surface prior to the new modified application.definitely crucial otherwise the new material wont adhere properly.
Over 100 sq ft of white granular modified were applied over the area in question,we have to extend the repair well past the area in question to make sure we have a permanent seal for years to come.
Also a bead of modified was placed on the the ring where the metal drain bowl meets with a metal sleeve (pipe) an additional protection to make sure we have a good seal.
The base of all the roof vents were also sealed as needed.All roof protrusions adjacent to our roof leak have to be sealed.we like to go the extra mile to make sure your roof is watertight after our visit.

The business owner had to pay extra because of the emergency call placed by him.merchandise and equipment were also damaged,these were found hours later.
Water stains on the ceiling.this is a very busy store and this should not happen.
Was able to get a visual reference of the roof drain above the water stains
The water stains are visible from different angles.the roof drain location should always be the lowest spot on the roof .
The first opening found.tip of the trowel its the indicator for the picture
Applied primer to the areas ready to be reflashed with modified roofing membrane
Where the cast iron drain bowl meets the drain pipe. We applied high quality caulk to ensure a watertight seal.
