Keep Your Flat Roof Drains Flowing: A Guide to Roof Drain Maintenance with Watertite Roofing

Posted May 13th, 2024 in General News

If you’re like us, you know you appreciate the comfort and security that a well-installed flat roof offers - it’s the first line of defense against whatever Mother Nature throws your way. But let’s talk about something that doesn’t always get the attention it deserves: the humble roof drain.

At Watertite Roofing, we’ve been keeping flat and low-slope roofs in shipshape since 1976. That’s right, we’re not just experts, we’re seasoned veterans in the roof game. And when it comes to maintaining those drains, we’re the ones you want on speed dial, especially if you’re in Ontario, serving spots like St. Catharines, Niagara Falls, Fort Erie, Welland, Port Colborne, Brantford, Simcoe, Hamilton, Grimsby, and Burlington. Yup, we’ve got you covered from every corner!

So, why all the fuss about roof drains, you ask? Well, let’s break it down. Picture this: a rainy day (hey, we’re in Ontario, it happens!). Your flat roof is doing its thing, protecting your building from the downpour. But wait, if those drains aren’t in tip-top shape, all that water is just going to pool up, causing a whole mess of trouble. From leaks to water damage, it’s a headache you don’t want to deal with.

That’s where we come in! Our team at Watertite Roofing doesn’t just slap on a patch and call it a day. Oh no, we’re all about that proactive maintenance life. We’ll inspect your drains with a fine-tooth comb, making sure they’re clear of any debris that might be clogging up the works. Leaves, branches, even the occasional rogue Frisbee - we’ve seen it all, and we know how to handle it.

But wait, there’s more! We’re not just here for the emergency repairs (although we’ve got those covered too). We’re all about that long-term relationship. That’s why we offer roof maintenance plans that include regular drain check-ups, so you can rest easy knowing your roof is in good hands.

And hey, we get it, nobody likes unexpected expenses. That’s why we’re upfront about our pricing, with no hidden fees or surprise charges. When you work with Watertite Roofing, you know exactly what you’re getting: top-notch service from a team that’s been doing this for decades.

So there you have it, folks. When it comes to flat roof maintenance, don’t leave it to chance. Trust the pros at Watertite Roofing to keep your drains flowing and your building protected, rain or shine. Because when you’ve got a roof over your head, you want to make sure it’s the best darn roof it can be.

What our customers are saying

  • Well, we started by looking for an award-winning roofing material that could withstand the harsh Canadian weather. Then we discover Dura-Last – the most advanced vinyl roofing material ever developed. In so doing we also discovered an award winning flat roofing installer, even recommended by Dura-Last themselves. Turns out Watertite Roofing is the best flat roofing installer in Canada, serving right here in Southern Ontario. Went to their office, and I couldn't believe the number of awards that they have received. Hall walls full of awards. Nobody gets that many awards unless you're real good. So we not only get an Award winning product to protect our commercial investment, but we get the award-winning installers to boot. Don't gamble with your commercial properties - Watertite Roofing; the flat roofing specialists.

  • As a custom home builder and renovator we work on many unique projects that require unique products and solutions. We only work with contractors that can provide the level of professionalism, service, and product quality that we demand of ourselves for our clientele. Watertite Roofing is one of those contractors who sets the bar higher for others. Their response time, organization of operations, and delivery on service is rarely paralleled. And they install a durable, well warrantied product that takes a load off our minds. We wouldn't use anyone else.

  • We purchased a building requiring a new flatroof. Didn't take to long to figure out who I was going to work with. Thru multiple business owners in the area and talking with some friends in real estate, the same name kept coming up. I gave Zach, owner, a call and booked a time to take a peak. He arrived ontime, prepared and presentable. He knew his product well and came up onto the roof to explain the process. After measurement and finalizing the details we decided to proceed with a roof replacement. A quotation was sent back within 2 days with pictures of the existing roof, new roof design and the payment schedule from start to completion. His crew that did the roof were very respectable of my property. There was no garbage left behind and the end product turned out great. Clearly, I'd be happy to do business with Watertite again. I could have done the contract on a handshake. Zacks words were few but what got promised happened and his communication was clear. I would have zero reservations in passing their name forward. Thanks for helping me out. Great company.

  • Always a pleasure working with Waterside Roofing from Dunnville, Ontario. Watertite is very professional at their workmanship and I will continue to have them complete multiple jobs in the future.

  • The company is a family business, however they have plenty of other people to take care of your needs. Their estimate is done by Google earth and their representatives are very professional and helpful. The system they represent has an excellent 20 year warranty and provides a beautiful looking end result. Using this product is definitely a money saver when doing a flat tar and gravel roof replacement. I highly recommend them.

  • Zac and his team have been incredible from our first contact. They were the most reasonably priced of 4 quotes, got the job done quickly when they said they would, have promptly responded to any queries and have came back to support installation of ventwork during renovations. The new roof, trim and eaves troughs look great and we're very happy with the service.

  • During a heavy rain event, the roof leaked and one of the tenant was concerned about the leak. I called Watertite Roofing and they were on the roof to patch the leak by end of the same day. In the meantime, they did an assessment of the roof and provided a quotation within days for the replacement of the roof. Once the quotation was approved, Watertite Roofing promptly began to replace the roof the following day. The foreman on site for Watertite Roofing was considerate of intrusion to the businesses and their clients. The site foreman was approachable and made changes requested by the landlord. The work was completed in four days and before the next rainfall. Communication with the head office was always pleasant and frequent updates were provided every several days of work progress by the Operations Manager/Estimator. I was pleased with the quick response and the professional manner in which the work was completed ahead of time.
