The Dangers of Clogged Roof Drains
Every year in the United States commercial buildings are extensively damaged or destroyed by the affects of rooftop ponding water on flat roofs.
I predict that a large number of property owners will experience roof leaks and understandably think it is the roof and call a roofing contractor during the next Arizona monsoon season. Many times the problem may not be from the roof itself, but from clogged roof drains. After storms and over the years, a building’s roof drain can become clogged with debris causing the water to overflow and leak into the building. If the drain becomes plugged, it may cause water to back up and flow over the drain flashing and into the building itself. From there it may leak down the walls or into ceilings.Just remember, one large ponding area on a roof can easily weigh more than an F-250 pickup. Regular roof maintenance is necessary and it may save property owners big bucks.
There is an “Easy-Do-It-Yourself” roof Drain Filter. Installing a Roof Drain Filter can help avoid clogged drains and expensive water damage by keeping leaves and large debris away from roof drains. The economical, easy-to-install Roof Drain Filter holds drain-clogging litter, wind blown leaves and other debris away from the drain strainer but allows high water flow. Our new Roof Drain Filter installs in minutes using common hand tools, cable ties, roofing adhesive or wire and needs minimal upkeep. Easily maintain by sweeping top and sides to remove built up sediment and debris.
Just remember, annual roof inspections can save property owners money by catching a problem like a clogged roof drain early, before the monsoon season starts!

I am interested in roofing my own home in Maine. The roofs contractors in Maine usually use architect style shingle. I feel as though I could do this project myself. I have replaced roofing shingles before,but I have never replaced a whole roof. I visited www.roofing-maine.com. They offered many roofing tips. I think I can tackle this one. Can someone encourage me or discourage me from such a roofing project.
Thx

A roof leak is just natural if your roof was made not properly, this problems is such an annoying thing, so if ever you plan to construct your home make sure that your roof is properly built.

People build house but they always forget to provide proper drainage facility on their rooftop to remove rainwater from roof. It can cause great damage to their roof.
