What can cause a roof drain to become clogged?
A clog remover specialist You've seen one or the other, but the wonders can also be found on the roof and in the roof drain, among other things. An inflated plastic bag, a dead bird or rodent, a small ball... all of them can cause a blockage. Not a small one, but a real one. The most common, however, is when collected leaves that have almost started to rot end up in the drains. Of course, clogging prevention also includes fixing the drain filter, where it is.
The common representative rarely goes up to the roof, others only wonder every five years: what is above the top floor of the house. Well, it happens that a poorly fixed drain filter moves out of place, or rusts and, as it were, does not crumble. In such a case, leaves and other waste enter the pipeline without hindrance. You can certainly expect it to clog, which will most likely require a blockage removal specialist. Flat roofs are almost everywhere insulated by sprinkling tar paper with gravel, pearl gravel, or simply pouring gravel on it, even when the tar is hot and the gravel sticks. However, the particles can loosen in the summer heat and can also be washed away by monsoon-like showers, meaning the pearl gravel can also end up in the drain. The roof drain is good at removing the dirt, as it carries the water mostly vertically, however, if the aforementioned tree branches, leaves and other dirt that does not belong there get into the rainwater drain, then the blockage and we, the drain cleaners, can come.
It can cause serious problems if the roof drains are not cleaned or not cleaned regularly. In this case, it is also true that preventive maintenance saves the house and its precious people from a lot of annoyance. If the roof drain is clogged, the water still finds a way to drain off the roof. It can flow into poorly installed chimneys, vents and from there the rainwater flows straight into the rooms, kitchens or bathrooms of the apartments. The let it go occurs when the electrical system of the house is also endangered by water, as I have said before, when the water is dripping from the ceiling lights rainThe first thing, of course, is to turn off the electrical system, and the second is what they call unclogging, or us.
It may happen that they try to clean the roof drain at home, but if they accept an advice, they should rather entrust the work to specialized craftsmen, because it can cause great damage, who do not have the proper practice in cleaning pipes and sewage pipes. The two pipes are completely the same in their system, it is no coincidence that in the case of roof drain blockages, blockage removal, that is, our company and our services, should come to mind.
It is not easy to determine the location of the fault. Of course, there may be bends in the roof rainwater drain and it is possible that the drain pipe slips, which then causes the leak and, secondarily, the blockage. We can use the pipe spiral used for clogging sewage pipes here too, or a high-pressure cleaner. The point is that cleaning the roof drain involves as little destruction as possible. If the pipe runs outside the wall, the situation is more fortunate, because in some cases we can open the pipe, but if the drain pipe is placed next to the internal mechanical equipment of the house, then unfortunately it is possible that in the event of a very stubborn blockage, the pipe will also have to be opened, and this usually involves a wall. Obviously, the blockage removal specialist will do everything in his power to avoid having to open a wall, but I must say that sometimes this is unavoidable.
To prevent major problems, it is worth having your roof drains checked from time to time, but definitely annually, to easily avoid clogging the roof drain pipe. Our employees will professionally check all the roof drains in your house, the best time to do this is in the spring, after the snow has melted. If necessary, they will clean them, and sometimes they will even scan every centimeter of the roof drain with a fiber-optic camera.
