What our roof drain repair includes
Every drain job starts with an inspection and ends with a flow test. What sits in between depends on what we find.
Work order
Roof Drain Repair- Drain and scupper clearing: We lift the strainer, remove debris, rod the leader pipe and clear the scupper. On flat roofs we confirm water reaches the drain and leaves the roof within minutes of a downpour.
- Hose flow test: We run water through the finished drain and watch the discharge point. If flow is slow or backs up, we keep working until the line is clear or we find the break.
- Drain body reseal: We reset the drain body, rebuild the clamping ring and reseal with butyl tape and roof cement matched to your membrane. This is what stops water from seeping around the drain.
- Flashing repair at drain: Drain flashing gets checked and repaired as part of the job. Failed flashing around a drain is one of the most common sources of attic water intrusion we find in San Marino.
- Photo documentation: You get before and after photos of the drain, the line and the repair.
- Debris cleanup: We bag the debris we pull from the drain and magnet-sweep the driveway and yard for nails before we leave. Your property looks the way we found it.

What Roof Drain Repair in San Marino, Texas involves
A roof drain that backs up does not just puddle. It pushes water under your flashing and into your ceiling. Fixing the drain properly the first time is the cheapest roof work you will ever pay for.
Roof Drain Repair in San Marino, Texas is the trade of restoring the drains, scuppers, gutters and downspouts that move rainwater off your roof. A roof drain is only as good as its path: debris collects at the strainer, leaves pack the leader pipe, and standing water finds every seam in the membrane. We pull the strainer, rod the line, hose-test it, then reseal the drain body with butyl tape and roof cement rated for the material we are working on.
San Marino sits in a part of Texas that swings from long dry stretches to hard, fast downpours. That cycle cracks aged pipe boots, dries out roof sealant and lets hail knock grit into the drains. Homeowners call us most often after a storm when they see ceiling water stains or hear water in the attic.

How roof drain repair runs in San Marino
San Marino roofs take a beating from a climate that swings between long dry spells and hard, fast downpours. That cycle is hard on roof sealant and pipe boots, and it sends debris into drains fast when the rain finally comes.
Monte Vista
Older homes with original gutters and downspouts that clog easily. We see a lot of drain backups here after storms.
Terrell Heights
Mix of shingle and flat roof additions. Scupper and fascia problems are common on the flat sections.
Stone Oak
Larger homes with complex rooflines and multiple valleys. Debris collects in valleys and feeds straight into the drains.

PhotoClogged drain cleared in Monte Vista
Before: A homeowner had a spreading ceiling stain and water in the attic after a storm. The roof drain strainer was packed with shingle grit and leaves, and water was backing up under the flashing.
After: We cleared the drain line, resealed the drain body and ran a hose test. Water left the roof in under two minutes. The ceiling stain stopped spreading and the attic dried out within a week.
Scupper and fascia repaired in Terrell Heights
Before: A scupper was overflowing onto the fascia board during every downpour, and the wood had started to rot. The downspout below was also partially blocked, which made the overflow worse.
After: We cleared the scupper and downspout, replaced the rotted fascia section and hose-tested the full path. Water now leaves the roof cleanly with no overflow onto the wall.
Commercial drain body replaced near Medical Center
Before: A cracked drain body on a TPO membrane roof was leaking into a tenant space. The clamping ring had failed and water was seeping around the drain into the insulation below.
After: We replaced the drain body, rebuilt the clamping ring, installed new flashing and resealed the membrane. The drain passed a full flow test and the tenant space stayed dry through the next storm.
Roof drain problems we solve in San Marino
Most drain calls come down to one of a few problems.
Water ponding on a flat roof after every rain
Standing water adds weight, breaks down the membrane and finds every seam. Left alone, it turns into a full membrane replacement instead of a drain repair.
Ceiling water stains that keep coming back
A recurring stain usually means water is still getting in.
Overflowing scupper soaking the fascia
Water running over the scupper rots fascia boards and soffit, and can run down the wall into the structure. It also stains siding and trim.
Cracked drain body leaking into the attic
A cracked drain body lets water drip straight through the roof deck.
Hail debris clogging drains after a storm
Hail knocks granules off asphalt shingles and sends grit straight into the drains. Within days, the strainer is packed and water starts backing up.
Why San Marino homeowners fix drains early
A roof drain that backs up does not just puddle. It pushes water under flashing, into roof sheathing and down into your ceiling.
Stop ponding water
Standing water weighs roughly 5 pounds per square foot and finds every weak seam.
Prevent ceiling stains
Most ceiling water stains we inspect in San Marino start as a slow drain clog, not a torn shingle.
Protect the roof warranty
Manufacturers like GAF, Owens Corning and CertainTeed require that drains and scuppers stay clear.
Extend roof life
Water sitting on a TPO or EPDM membrane breaks down the surface over time.
What roof drain repair costs
A simple clog clearing sits at the low end. Replacing a cracked drain body, rebuilding the clamping ring and resealing the membrane pushes the price up.

What San Marino customers say
After the last big storm I had a brown ring on my ceiling and could not figure out where it came from. They got on the roof, pulled the drain strainer and found it packed with shingle grit. Cleared it, resealed the drain body and ran a hose test. Two hours, flat price, no more stain spreading.
We manage a small retail center with four flat roof drains. Two were backing up and ponding after every rain. They camera-inspected the lines, cleared the debris and gave me a written flow report with photos. Scheduled it around our tenants so nobody was disrupted.
I called about a scupper that was overflowing onto my fascia. They found the scupper was fine but the downspout below was blocked. Cleared the whole path, replaced a rotted section of fascia board and checked the flashing. Honest about what was wrong instead of upselling me a new roof.

2109395773A simple clog clearing sits at the low end. Replacing a cracked drain body, rebuilding the clamping ring and resealing the membrane pushes the price up. We quote flat rates before we start, so you know the number up front.
Yes. We clear roof drains, scuppers, gutters and downspouts across San Marino and the nearby Texas neighborhoods. A standard cleaning takes one to two hours on a home and includes a hose test to confirm flow. If the line is broken or the drain body is cracked, we show you the photos and quote the repair separately before doing it.
A clogged drain clears in about an hour. A full drain body replacement with new flashing and sealant takes two to four hours. Larger commercial roofs with multiple drains can take a full day. We tell you the expected time when we quote the job, and we do not leave until the drain passes a flow test.
The most common causes we find are shingle grit, leaves, pine needles and hail debris packed at the strainer. On flat roofs, a sagging deck can also stop water from reaching the drain at all. After a hail storm, granule loss from asphalt shingles sends grit straight into the drain line. A camera inspection tells us which one you are dealing with.
