Overflow Drain Systems in the South Bay
Plan check asking for overflow, or a roof that ponds when the main drain clogs? Request an estimate.
Schulze Plumbing Inc. provides Overflow Drain Systems in the South Bay / Los Angeles County area. See cities we serve or call 310-487-2975.
Overflow drains are the backup path when the primary inlet clogs. They sit slightly higher and discharge where you can see water shooting out — that is a feature, not a leak.
Flat-roof commercial and some multi-unit buildings in the South Bay are routinely asked for this in plan check.
Common symptoms
- A correction letter naming overflow drains
- A roof that stored water until the parapet leaked
- Primary drains with no backup path
What this service involves
- Setting overflow inlets to the specified height
- Piping a visible or approved discharge
- Coordinating roofing flashings

FAQ
- Is water coming from the overflow a failure?
- It means the primary is not keeping up or is clogged. Clear the primary; do not cap the overflow.
- Can overflow tie into the same leader?
- Sometimes, with a design that still works if the leader is blocked. The drawings decide.
- Residential too?
- Some modern low-slope houses yes. Most pitched roofs use gutters instead.
