Local Plumbers Are a Click Away

Many times homeowners will experience a leaky roof. The problem may not be from the roof itself, but from clogged roof drains. Over the years, a roof drain can become clogged with debris causing the water to overflow and leak into the house. If the drain becomes plugged, it will cause a back up of water that will flow over the flashing and into the attic of the house. From there it may leak down the walls or into ceilings. Regular maintenance of the roof drains is necessary to prevent a leaky roof. Many homeowners do not even realize that they have a drain on the roof.

If you experience a leak, you can call a professional roofer or plumber to find out where the leak is coming from. If it appears to be the roof drain, a plumber might be the one to clean out the drain and make sure it is working properly. Not all drain problem are as easy as cleaning them out. If the drain is old, it might mean you will need to replace it to permanently stop the leaking. Although this is uncommon, it can happen. An experienced plumber would be able to tell you if the drain is just clogged or in need of replacement.

Many homeowners will call a roofer to come and check the roof for leaks. If they find a problem with the roof drains, they will often tell the homeowner that it’s a job for a plumber. Sometimes people think they have a leaky roof when in turn they have a leaky pipe inside the house that may be coming down from an upstairs bathroom traveling through the ceiling, leaving people to believe it might be a roofing problem.
