Clogged Roof Head Drains

Dealing with Clogged Roof Head Drains in Des Plaines & Chicago’s Northwest Suburbs
For industrial and commercial building owners in Des Plaines and the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, clogged roof head drains are a critical concern. Accumulation of debris—including leaves, twigs, and trash—on roofs can lead to drain blockages. Over time, these clogs damage roofing materials and create hazards like water pooling, structural strain, and pest infestations.

The Consequences of Neglecting Roof Head Drains

Clogged roof head drains pose serious risks, such as:

  • Deterioration of Roofing Materials: Stagnant water degrades caulk, cement, and tar.
  • Water Seepage: Pooling near HVAC units or chimneys causes structural damage.
  • Freeze-Thaw Cycle Damage: Water in cracks expands during freezing, worsening cracks.
  • Structural Strain: Excess water weight stresses roof supports.
  • Plant/Algae Growth: Stagnant water encourages moss, weeds, and algae.
  • Ice Patch Hazards: Frozen water creates slippery surfaces.
  • Mosquito Breeding: Standing water attracts pests and health risks.

Preventative Measures for Roof Head Drains
Regular maintenance prevents clogs:

  • Monthly Inspections: Check drains for debris or damage.
  • Post-Storm Cleanup: Remove branches, leaves, and trash after severe weather.
  • Proper Drain Domes: Use correctly sized domes (larger domes reduce clogs but need larger pipes).
  • Avoid Chemicals: Clear drains with a garden hose; harsh chemicals corrode pipes.
