Most Contractors Skip This Drain Step | Big Mistake

This video is for: Homeowners with flat/low-slope roofs and fellow roofing contractors. Sometimes, a roof tear-off comes with surprises. On this project in Lincoln Park, we removed an old rooftop deck only to discover a hidden main drain that wasn't on the original plan. A drain is the most critical part of a flat roof, and if it's not flashed correctly, it's a guaranteed leak. In this video, Jim and the team demonstrate the "Anchor Point Way" to flash a drain using a multi-layer system that is virtually bulletproof. Watch the step-by-step process: The Lead Flashing: We install a 3x3 foot sheet of lead and hand-contour it to the drain bowl using a mallet. The Primer: We apply asphalt primer to the lead to ensure a chemical bond. The Layers: We install a base sheet and a final cap sheet of modified bitumen, heat-welded directly to the primed lead. The Clamping Ring: The final piece that locks everything in place. This is a great watch for homeowners who want to see quality craftsmanship, and for contractors looking to see how we handle drain details.
