Why Is My Roof Leaking Near the Scupper Area?

If you’ve noticed water leaking near the scupper area of your roof, you’re not alone. Many homeowners in Chicago experience this issue, especially on flat or low-slope roofs. At Anchor Point Roofing, we specialize in roof repair and understand the common causes behind scupper leaks.

Leaks around scuppers often happen because of loose flashing or openings in the flashing, which allow water to seep into your roofing system. Over time, weather, debris, and general wear can cause the membrane around the scupper to lift or deteriorate, creating a pathway for water damage.

Here at Anchor Point Roofing, we take pride in repairing scupper leaks efficiently and effectively. Our process includes:

Removing the loose membrane around the scupper area.

Priming the scupper with high-quality asphalt primer to ensure proper adhesion.

Installing a new heat-welded modified bitumen flashing around the scupper for long-lasting protection.

Finishing with a touch of aluminum coating to seal and protect the repair.

With this approach, we ensure that your roof is secure, watertight, and ready to withstand Chicago’s unpredictable weather. If you’re experiencing leaks along your scupper area, trust Anchor Point Roofing for reliable roof repair services.
