Metal Roof Scupper Repair in Dallas, Tx

We completed a scupper repair project for a Dallas Homeowner, addressing a leaking metal roof scupper. This blog post outlines our steps to resolve the issue and ensure the roof’s integrity.

The Challenge

Dallas Homeowner was experiencing leaks around a metal roof scupper, a critical component that directs water off the roof. The existing scupper had become a weak point, allowing water to infiltrate and potentially cause significant damage. We aimed to thoroughly repair and seal the area, ensuring long-term protection against leaks.

Our Solution

To address the leaking scupper, our team followed a detailed process to clean, seal, and reinforce the area, ensuring it was fully waterproof and secure.

  • Remove Shingles Around Scupper

    The first step in the repair process was carefully removing the shingles surrounding the metal roof scupper. This allowed us to access the scupper and the underlying roof structure, providing a clear working area for the necessary repairs.

  • Clean the Metal Roof Scupper

    With the shingles removed, we cleaned the existing metal roof scupper using a specialized roof cleaner. This step is crucial for removing debris, dirt, and old sealant residues, providing a clean surface for the new coating to adhere to effectively.

  • Apply 100% Silicone Roof Coating

    Next, we applied a 100% silicone roof coating over the cleaned metal roof scupper. Due to their excellent waterproofing properties and durability, silicone coatings are highly effective at sealing and protecting roof components. This coating forms a seamless barrier, preventing water from infiltrating the scupper.

  • Install Ice and Water Shield

    To further enhance the waterproofing of the area, we installed an ice and water shield around the scupper. This self-adhering membrane provides an additional layer of protection, ensuring that water is directed away from vulnerable areas and cannot penetrate the roof structure.

  • Install New Shingles

    The final step was to install new shingles around the scupper. These new shingles were carefully placed and sealed to ensure a cohesive and watertight fit, restoring the roof to its original appearance and functionality.

The Result

The completed repair has successfully addressed the leaking scupper, providing Dallas Homeowner’s roof with robust protection against water infiltration. By cleaning and coating the scupper, installing an ice and water shield, and replacing the surrounding shingles, we ensured that this critical area of the roof is well-protected and durable.
