๐งA clogged roof drain can turn into a much bigger problem than most people realize. This flat roof in Swampscott, MA had a significant amount of standing water because the roof drain was completely blocked with pine needles and other debris. Once we cleared the drain, you could immediately see the water start flowing off the roof like it should. Standing water on a flat roof can add unnecessary weight and can contribute to leaks and other roof problems over time.
Keeping roof drains and drainage areas clear is an important part of regular flat roof maintenance, especially here in the North Shore and Greater Boston area where leaves, pine needles, and other debris can build up throughout the year.
