A practical part of roof care
Small debris.
A bigger drainage problem.
Leaves and vegetation can collect around strainers and scupper openings, slowing or blocking the path off the roof. Removing that buildup lets water escape when debris is the cause.

Why the cleanout matters
Water needs
a way off the roof.
This project photo shows the buildup of water when vegetation blocked the roof drains. Clearing the blockage allowed the water to drain away.
Water that stays on a roof for prolonged periods can accelerate deterioration of its waterproof covering. If water remains after accessible debris is cleared, the roof slope, low spots or internal drainage may need further assessment.

for the details.
Your report helps identify suitable flashing and sealant details that may benefit from upkeep. Review the findings, agree the scope and approve the price before additional work starts.
Explore preventative maintenanceWhy roof drains need cleaning
Clear drains. Protect your roof.
Leaves, vegetation and sediment can collect around drain strainers and scuppers, restricting water flow. When debris is the blockage, clearing it lets trapped water drain away.
Standing water deserves attention.
Water that stays on a roof for prolonged periods can accelerate deterioration of its waterproof covering and shorten its service life. Cleaning addresses accessible debris; water that remains because of roof slope, a low spot or a problem inside the drainage system needs further assessment.
Make drainage care routine.
IKO recommends drainage inspection and cleaning annually or twice yearly, with more frequent attention where clogs recur. For roofs surrounded by deciduous trees, it recommends a cleaning after autumn leaf fall.
What we plan with your property manager
- Collect loose leaves, vegetation and sediment from the agreed roof areas.
- Clear accessible drain strainers and scupper openings.
- Photograph visible concerns and identify any remaining standing water for follow-up.
- Agree a return schedule around tree cover, previous blockages and the building’s roof-care requirements.
Any flow test is agreed separately. A cleanout does not include internal drain-pipe work, leak investigation or changes to the roof’s drainage design.

Questions from property managers.
What affects the cleaning price?
Roof area, number of drains, buildup, building height and access all affect the scope. Send photos and the building list so we can confirm the work and price.
Will cleaning remove all standing water?
Clearing a debris blockage lets trapped water drain. Water remaining because of low spots, roof slope or internal pipework needs further assessment.
Is preventative maintenance included?
The roof photo report is complimentary with completed flat-roof cleaning. Preventative maintenance is optional, quoted and approved separately.
Can you return in spring and fall?
Yes. We can discuss seasonal visits suited to the property and its roof-care requirements. Each visit’s scope, price and access are agreed with you.
