Reliable Drainage & Gutter Systems
We protect your commercial roof by moving water away fast and helping prevent leaks, pooling, and costly damage.
Service Details
At Pillar Roofing, we know a roof is only as good as the way it moves water off the building. That is why our drainage and gutter systems service is a major part of protecting commercial properties. When water is not directed away the right way, it can lead to roof leaks, ponding water, fascia damage, wall staining, foundation issues, and costly repairs. We help business owners and property managers in Richardson, TX and the surrounding area prevent those problems with drainage solutions that are built for performance and long-term value.
We provide complete commercial drainage and gutter system services for new roofs, existing roofs, and problem areas that need correction. Our work starts with a close look at how water currently moves across your roof and around your building. We check for clogged drains, poor slope, overflow points, standing water, separated gutter joints, loose hangers, downspout issues, and signs of water intrusion. From there, we recommend practical solutions based on your roof type, building layout, and drainage demands.
Our drainage and gutter system service can include roof drains, gutters, downspouts, scuppers, leader heads, overflow drainage, drainage improvements, and replacement of aging components. On low-slope and flat commercial roofing systems, proper drainage is critical. Even a strong membrane can fail early if water is allowed to sit too long. We work with commercial roof systems such as single-ply membranes, modified bitumen, and other low-slope roofing assemblies, making sure drainage is addressed as part of the overall roofing system, not treated as an afterthought.
For gutter systems, we install and repair commercial-grade components designed to handle the water load of larger roof areas. That includes properly sized gutters and downspouts that match the needs of the building. We pay attention to pitch, secure attachment, joint sealing, outlet placement, and discharge location so water moves away efficiently. If your current gutters overflow during heavy Texas rain, pull away from the structure, or leak at seams, we can inspect the system and recommend repair or replacement options.
We also address drainage trouble spots that often get missed. These can include blocked internal drains, crushed drain lines, poor roof taper, failing scuppers, inadequate overflow protection, and areas where repeated ponding water puts stress on the roof surface. In many cases, fixing the drainage problem helps prevent repeated leak calls and extends the life of the roof. That is one reason drainage work is often one of the smartest investments a commercial property owner can make.
Our process is straightforward and built around clear communication. We begin with a free estimate and consultation. We inspect the visible drainage components and roof conditions, identify risks, and explain what we find in plain language. If repairs are needed, we outline the scope of work and help you understand the best next step based on urgency, budget, and long-term performance. If replacement is the better option, we can design a system that improves water flow and reduces maintenance issues over time.
As a family-owned roofing contractor, we take pride in doing careful work and standing behind our recommendations. Our team is RCAT licensed, and we bring hands-on experience to every commercial roofing project. We understand that drainage problems can disrupt tenants, operations, and maintenance schedules, so we work efficiently and professionally to minimize issues while delivering dependable results.
Drainage and gutter systems also play a big role in roof maintenance. As part of ongoing service, we can inspect drains and gutters for debris buildup, signs of corrosion, loose connections, and wear caused by storms and seasonal weather. Regular maintenance helps keep water moving as it should and can reduce the chance of emergency repairs. For many commercial buildings, routine drainage checks are one of the easiest ways to protect both the roof and the building exterior.
If you have noticed overflowing gutters, standing water on your roof, water stains on exterior walls, leaks near drain locations, or signs of poor runoff around your property, it is time to have the system checked. Small drainage issues often turn into larger roofing and structural problems if they are ignored. We are here to help you catch those issues early and fix them the right way.

Drainage & Gutter Systems FAQs
Common questions we hear from commercial property owners in Richardson and the surrounding area about gutter drainage, roof water control, repairs, and replacements.
- Why does my commercial building need a proper drainage and gutter system?
A good drainage and gutter system moves water off your roof the right way. That helps prevent standing water, roof leaks, foundation issues, exterior staining, and damage around doors, walkways, and landscaping. In our experience, poor roof drainage can shorten the life of a commercial roof fast. We make sure water is directed away from the building so your property stays protected.
- What are the signs that my gutters or roof drainage system need repair?
Some of the most common warning signs are overflowing gutters, water pooling on the roof, sagging gutter sections, visible rust, separated joints, stains on walls, erosion near the building, and leaks after heavy rain. If you notice any of these issues, it is smart to have them checked early. Small drainage problems can turn into expensive roof repairs if they are ignored.
- Can you repair my current gutter system, or do I need a full replacement?
It depends on the condition of the system. If the problem is limited to a few sections, loose hangers, bad seams, clogs, or minor drainage issues, a repair may be enough. If the system is badly rusted, pulling away from the structure, poorly pitched, or no longer sized correctly for the building, replacement is often the better long-term option. We will inspect it and give you an honest recommendation based on what makes the most sense for your property and budget.
- Do drainage problems affect the roof itself?
Yes, absolutely. When water does not drain off the roof properly, it can lead to ponding water, membrane damage, leaks, fascia problems, and faster wear on the roofing system. Over time, that can impact insulation, interior spaces, and even routine business operations. Our team looks at the full picture so we can address both the drainage issue and any roofing concerns tied to it.
- How do I know if Pillar Roofing is the right company for this work?

"Can’t recommend Pillar Roofing enough! Steve and Wayne came out within a day of my talking to them, took their pictures and came back with several bid offers, everything from a full rebuild to simply minimal patching. We went with the middle road of doing a liquid TPO, which they got done in record time, and hauled off all their materials. No leaks on that project since, and we had them back out for another roof that started leaking after that terrible 2022 north Texas rainstorm. Same story, record time for the bid, and they got it done with no hassle on our end. Highly recommended! John Lee Harrison- The Armstrong Foundation"

"EXTREMELY SATISFIED CUSTOMER! When I was first shopping for roofers for a major skylight leak I couldn’t even find an honest roofer. We have cameras all around our house. We had two roofers give us a quote to replace the entire roof that didn’t even get on top of our roof! BLAKE from Pillar Roofing came out and then met with me to go over his quote and suggested we get an insurance adjuster out because he saw some hail damage. Our roof was over 20 years old. So we did and the inspector agreed. Blake walked me through the entire process and answered all my questions. His crew showed up even earlier than Blake advised on both days. They cleaned up after demo and after install. They completed the job when Blake advised. The roof looks amazing and all my neighbors are asking for their number! Blake is extremely knowledgeable and took time to explain the process to me and everything he advised was true to what occurred. Blake is personable, patient, and very responsive. I felt completely at ease working with Blake on this major project! I am extremely pleased with Pillar Roofing!!!"

This is an outstanding roofing company."

I'm happy. Thank you."

"I could not have asked for better service. I was hit by the two major hail storms in Wylie. After the first one, I contacted Blake Joyce to look at my roof.........wasn't sure if I needed to contact my insurance company. He came out right away and confirmed the call. Needless to say, the second one hit and I then had hundreds of holes in my roof..........water coming in everywhere. My adjuster was already scheduled to come out the day after. Once he gave the OK......Blake had his crew were out to cover the roof that night..........by Friday (which was before the next big rain that came) he had our beautiful new roof going and finished Saturday morning. Thank you Pillar/Blake Joyce for the awesome job done and being so kind and patient! Karen Clevenger"
"Pillar handled the storm repair on my house in Wylie, TX in 2017. They repaired my roof, repaired my gutters, replaced my siding, and recommended a great guy to help repair and update my AC unit. They handled all the arrangements with me remotely as I was living out of state at the time. Their customer service was a huge help to me. They were honest, responsive, and understanding. I highly recommend this family owned company. Thank you Pillar!"
"Pillar Roofing was really great. We had our roof ruined in the spring hail storm of 2017 and they were among many roofers we talked to. Pillar gave us a reasonable quote, they were on time and the work was really terrific. And they cleaned up after the job! I highly recommend them."
"Got hit pretty bad with the Murphy Hail Storm last Spring. Steve the owner was personally engaged as well as several of his staff. He took us through the entire process and explained what to expect and the timing from start to finish. He worked directly with our Insurance company and assured all our damage was repaired and even pointed out things to the adjuster that we had no clue were covered. Very satisfied with the results and the professionalism of the crew. While I hope we never have to go through that again, you can be sure we will be calling Pillar Roofing if we do."

"Great company, great customer service!"
"I recently (late 2014) had a fairly major interior and exterior paint job, and woodwork replacement, done to my house. Our house is completely painted brick and fascia, a rather large job. I couldn't be happier with the level of service I received from Pillar Construction. I am a very picky person and they more than satisfied me. I would be happy to answer any questions from a perspective customer, or anyone else, but can't say enough good things about the services performed. They exceeded my expectations!!"
