Plumbing Drainage
Complete plumbing and drainage systems for roof decks. From water supply to proper drainage, we ensure your outdoor space is functional, safe, and compliant with Chicago building codes.
Drain-Waste-Vent Systems
Every fixture that uses water—sinks, toilets, showers, outdoor kitchens—requires a complete drain-waste-vent (DWV) system. Waste lines carry used water to the sewer or septic system. Vent lines extend through the roof to equalize pressure and prevent siphoning of trap seals. Without proper venting, drains run slowly, fixtures gurgle, and sewer gases can enter living spaces. Chicago building code specifies exact pipe sizes, slopes, and fixture heights that must be followed for safe, functional plumbing.
Roof deck plumbing presents unique challenges: running supply and drain lines through finished spaces, protecting pipes from freeze damage in Chicago winters, and coordinating with waterproofing membranes. We route plumbing through interior chases where possible, insulate exposed runs, and install proper cleanouts for future maintenance access. For outdoor sinks and showers, we design systems that can be winterized or use self-draining configurations.
Drainage beyond fixtures includes surface water management—gutters, downspouts, and deck drains that prevent standing water and protect the structure below. We integrate these systems during deck construction, ensuring proper slope toward drains and waterproof connections that last. Licensed plumbers handle all rough-in and finish work, with inspections at required stages to verify code compliance.
Safe & Functional Spaces
Proper plumbing and drainage ensure your roof deck is both functional and protected from water damage. Our team handles everything from initial planning through final installation.
