Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
RetroDrains are the go-to fix when an existing cast iron drain is corroded but the deck and piping are sound: you swap the drain body from above without interior work. Verify pipe size before ordering and confirm the new drain height works with your membrane system's tapered sump. For peak flow areas, keep the cast strainer dome clear of debris during maintenance visits.
Follow fall protection and rooftop safety requirements when working near open drains and roof edges.
