WHAT IS A FLAT ROOF DRAINAGE SYSTEM?  All flat roof drainage systems have a network of pipes and other plumbing, and they all should be able to flush out more than just water.  A faulty drainage system could lead to water damage and roof leaks.roof leaks ACCENT ROOFING AND CONSTRUCTION2

THE THREE MOST COMMON FLAT ROOF DRAINAGE SYSTEMS  Interior Drains.  Scuppers.  Gutters. ACCENT ROOFING AND CONSTRUCTION3

An interior drain essentially turns your flat roof into a sink.  Pros: The piping networks of an interior drain are protected from anything that happens outside of the building.  Cons: The most expensive of the three drainage solutions. ACCENT ROOFING AND CONSTRUCTION4 INTERIOR DRAINS

Installed on the edges of a flat roof, it shoots out water and other debris, usually onto a separate gutter or some other slanted surface which then gets funneled to reach the ground.  Pros: Scuppers are cheap to install and are the most efficient way of protecting a flat roof from debris.  Cons: Snow and ice can block passage to the scupper, resulting in massive roof leaks when the snow and ice melt.massive roof leaks ACCENT ROOFING AND CONSTRUCTION5 SCUPPERS

They will catch any and all forms of debris.  Pros: They are cheap and easy to install while having the ability to handle any form of debris.  Cons: Gutters must be cleaned constantly because debris builds up so quickly. ACCENT ROOFING AND CONSTRUCTION6 GUTTERS
