A commercial roof moves far more water than a house, and Medina's commercial gutters and internal drains fail in ways that flood a business fast. We size, clear and repair the drainage the building actually needs.
The volume coming off a Medina commercial roof needs oversized gutters and correctly sized downspouts — five- or six-inch residential gutter on a big flat span overflows every real rain. We size the system to the roof's actual drainage area so it carries the load instead of dumping it against the building.
Flat commercial roofs drain to internal drains and scuppers, and a clogged or undersized drain ponds water that finds every seam. We clear and maintain internal drainage and correct scupper and overflow details so water leaves the roof on purpose, not through the ceiling.
Medina's freeze-thaw plugs downspouts and scuppers with ice just like it does on houses, and a frozen commercial drain backs a lot of water onto a flat roof fast. Heat cable and proper slope keep the path open through the winter.



Medina's commercial drainage splits into two very different problems. The historic square-front buildings run box gutters and internal leaders that are original to the architecture — hidden systems where the failure is invisible until a tenant's ceiling stains. The Route 18 and corridor plazas run long flat roofs to interior drains and scuppers, where one clogged strainer ponds a hundred squares of membrane.
Both systems fail at the point nobody inspects. Box gutter linings split under ice and weep into the cornice for seasons before showing; interior drain bowls collect a year of debris and choke exactly when the February melt needs them most. Our commercial service is scheduled around that reality — documented inspections and cleanings timed before the loads arrive, spring and late fall.
Freeze-thaw is the design test. Commercial drainage that merely handles rain fails in a Medina winter, when melt refreezes in horizontal runs and ice loads hang on fascia-mounted systems. We size, heat-trace where warranted, and detail overflow paths so a blocked primary never puts water over a storefront or against a parapet.
Property managers get per-building files — conditions found, work done, photos — that slot into maintenance records and support claims when storms do the damage. Roof and drainage are one system on a commercial building, which is why this work pairs with our Medina commercial roofing service on most portfolios.

Work runs across Medina Public Square, Montville Township, Granger Township, Weymouth, Lafayette Township, the Route 18 corridor, Sharon Township and Brunswick Hills. If you can see Medina from your roof, you are in our service area.
