          Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

          How often should commercial roof drains be cleaned?

          Commercial roof drains should typically be cleaned at least twice a year—once in the spring and once in the fall. However, businesses located near trees or in storm-heavy regions may require more frequent maintenance. If your roof frequently gathers debris like leaves, gravel, or standing water after rainfall, it’s wise to schedule cleaning quarterly. Clogged roof drains can lead to water pooling, structural damage, and leaks. Routine cleaning by professionals like Cottrell Plumbing helps preserve your building’s roof integrity, ensures efficient water flow, and protects your overall investment. We also recommend post-storm inspections, especially after hurricanes or high winds, which tend to fill roof drains quickly.

          What types of commercial roofs do you service for drain cleaning?

          Cottrell Plumbing services nearly every type of commercial roof, including flat roofs, low-slope roofs, green roofs, and built-up roofing systems. Whether your facility has internal scuppers, roof gutters, or parapet wall drains, our commercial roof drain cleaning service is designed to handle all configurations. We tailor our approach based on the roof material, structure, and drainage setup. From small storefronts to large warehouses and institutional buildings, our experienced technicians know how to safely navigate and clean drains across commercial properties of all shapes and sizes. We also offer custom maintenance plans for properties with unique drainage challenges.

          What tools are used for commercial roof drain cleaning?

          We use a combination of high-pressure hydro jetting machines, commercial vacuums, scupper cleaning tools, and advanced inspection cameras. Hydro jetting blasts through clogs and buildup, while vacuums remove debris without spreading it around the rooftop. Our team also uses telescopic hoses and nozzle attachments to reach difficult rooftop drains without damaging roofing materials. For post-cleaning verification, we use video scopes to inspect interior drainpipes and confirm clear flow. Every tool is selected based on the roof’s material and configuration to ensure effective and safe cleaning that won’t compromise your property.

          What signs indicate a clogged commercial roof drain?

          You may have a clogged roof drain if you notice standing water on the roof after rain, water overflowing from scuppers or gutters, or watermarks on the ceiling below. Slow drainage, moss or algae buildup near drains, or sagging areas in flat roofs can also point to roof drainage issues. These signs often indicate debris blockages, collapsed pipes, or corroded connectors. Cottrell Plumbing provides inspections to confirm blockages and performs commercial roof drain cleaning service quickly to restore full function before leaks or long-term damage occurs.

          Can roof drain cleaning be done without shutting down business operations?

          Yes, in most cases, commercial roof drain cleaning can be completed without interfering with your day-to-day operations. Our team works with your schedule, including early mornings, evenings, or weekends, to minimize disruption. For larger properties, we can segment service areas and ensure safe access without impacting employees, customers, or tenants. Our goal is to provide thorough service while respecting your operations. For urgent jobs after storms, we offer fast response cleaning with minimal setup time so your facility remains safe and open.
