Loose Clamping Rings
Rings that hold the membrane to the drain loosen and let water bypass the bowl. Resetting the ring with new flashing seals the membrane to the bowl again.

Is the Leak in the Roof or in the Drain Below It?
As a Clifton Heights commercial roof repair contractor, we repair drain leaks on older flat roofs after checking the roofing, the drain body, and the pipe below.
Roof Drains
Clifton Heights Commercial Roof Repair at Interior Drains
A lot of Clifton Heights commercial roof repair work centers on interior roof drains.
Older flat-roofed buildings route water through drains in the middle of the roof and down pipes inside. A leak near one can start at the membrane flashing, the drain body, or a pipe joint under the deck.
Clifton Heights is in Delaware County, about 53 miles from Easton, and we serve it as one of our listed towns. We plan each visit so roof and underside checks happen on the same trip.

- Drain body and pipe joint checked from below
- Roofing and plumbing work coordinated
Roof Conditions
Commercial Roof Repair Problems at Clifton Heights Drains
These are the drain-area failures we find most on older Clifton Heights buildings.
Cracked Pipe Joints
Joints under the deck crack with age and drip into the ceiling right below the drain. Those joints are a plumbing repair, coordinated with any roof work above.
Drains Set Too High
A drain sitting above the roof surface leaves a ring of water that never runs off. Lowering the drain or building up the area around it lets the water run off.
Crushed Insulation at Outlets
Boards around the drain compress over time and form a low spot. New tapered boards around the outlet restore the slope toward the drain.
Old Patch Layers on the Bowl
Patches stacked around a drain build up a lip that holds water back. Stripping the old layers back to the bowl lets the flashing sit flat.
Wet Boards Around the Sump
Small leaks at the drain soak the insulation in a circle around it. Core cuts in a ring around the drain show how far that moisture spread.
What You Gain
What Commercial Roof Repair Protects for Clifton Heights Buildings
Fixing the right part of the drain saves paying twice for the same leak.
The Right Part Fixed First
Checking the drain body and pipe before replacing roofing means the repair goes where the water actually escapes. Surface material replaced over a cracked pipe joint leaves the leak running.
Dry Boards at the Outlet
Replacing soaked insulation around the drain stops a slow, spreading wet circle.
Water That Reaches the Drain
Resetting a high drain or low area lets the roof shed water again.
Clear Split of Work
Notes on roofing versus plumbing items help you assign each trade.

Questions
Clifton Heights Commercial Roof Repair Questions
Answers on drain leaks for Clifton Heights building owners.
Can a Clifton Heights Drain Leak Start Below the Roofing?
Yes. A leak in the piping or another part below the roofing connection can look exactly like a roof leak. We inspect the outlet from above and the underside where access permits before setting the scope, since new surface material leaves a cracked pipe joint or drain body leaking.
What Does Roof Drain Leak Repair Usually Include?
Resetting or replacing the clamping ring, new flashing between the membrane and drain bowl, a new strainer, and replacing wet boards around the outlet. Where the drain sits too high, the area around it is built up.
When Is Internal Roof Drain Repair a Plumbing Job?
When the drain body is cracked or the pipe joint below the deck leaks. In that case the roofer and plumber coordinate so the roof is opened and closed around the plumbing repair.
How Often Does Commercial Roof Drain Replacement Make Sense?
Replacement fits when the drain body is cracked, badly corroded, or the wrong size for the roof. A sound drain with worn flashing usually only needs the roofing connection rebuilt.
Do You Serve Clifton Heights From Easton?
Yes. Clifton Heights is on our list of service towns even though it sits about 53 miles from Easton. We schedule inspections there by appointment, with roof and underside checks on the same visit.
How Can I Tell If the Drain or the Roof Is Leaking?
Watch when it drips. A leak only during rain points to the roof connection, while dripping that keeps going after the storm can point to a cracked pipe joint holding water. Stains right along the pipe below the drain also suggest the plumbing side. We confirm it from above and below.
