Scupper Repair

Scuppers are the openings built into a parapet wall or roof edge that let water drain off a flat roof instead of pooling behind a wall. When a scupper is blocked, undersized, poorly flashed, or cracked at the seams, water backs up and finds its way into the membrane, the wall, or the deck below. Scupper repair addresses those failure points so water keeps moving off the roof the way it was designed to.

Common Signs a Scupper Needs Attention

Standing water near roof edges — pooling around a scupper opening usually points to a blockage or a slope issue.
Staining or deterioration on parapet walls — water escaping around a scupper often shows up as discoloration or crumbling mortar below the opening.
Loose or separated flashing — flashing that has pulled away from a scupper opening lets water track into the wall assembly instead of draining outward.

How the Work Gets Done

Repairs draw on the same systems used across the roof. Flashing & Scupper Systems address sealing at the opening itself, while Ponding Water Correction and re-sloping resolve drainage problems feeding the scupper. Where a parapet wall around the scupper has deteriorated, Tuckpointing & Mortar Systems restore the masonry. Drone Roof Inspections and Infrared Roof Moisture Scanning help pinpoint hidden moisture or damage before repair work begins.
