Clogged solid roof drain

Tenant called with a serious problem.
Water had been dripping non stop and the ceiling tiles were  ready to collapse
Needles to say.roof completely flooded



The roof drain was completely clogged up with debris
Roof maintenance happens to be crucial.
All roofs need to checked at least once a year

Removed debri and stood far away
it took a long time for all the water to drain

still going ......






Rather simple for now.heavy rains expected .we will have to come back to service this roof.
Preventative maintenance will be scheduled for a later date.
All seams will be checked,flashing on the parapet walls and roof protrusions to find the source of the leaks.
