Canales & Scuppers for Rio Rancho homes
Many homes in Rio Rancho, Corrales and Bernalillo have flat roofs behind a stucco parapet. Water runs to low points and leaves through openings in the parapet called scuppers, often with a projecting canale that throws the water clear of the wall.
When a canale is too short, rusted through or poorly flashed, water runs down the stucco, leaves long stains and soaks the wall. We replace canales, add collector boxes and downspouts where a homeowner wants the water carried to the ground.
What's included
Our canales & scuppers work
Canale replacement
Old canales are removed and new galvanized, painted or copper canales are installed and flashed into the roof membrane.
Scupper and collector boxes
A collector box catches water at the scupper and feeds a downspout, which stops splashing onto patios and walkways.
Longer throw
A longer or steeper canale throws water farther from the wall and reduces stucco staining.
Roofing coordination
Flashing a canale into a flat roof touches the roofing membrane. Where the roof needs work, we coordinate with a roofer.

FAQ
Canales & Scuppers questions
Are canales better than gutters on a flat roof?
On a parapet roof, canales and scuppers are the usual way water leaves. Gutters belong on roof edges without a parapet.
Why is my stucco stained under my canales?
The canale is likely too short, sloped wrong or leaking where it meets the wall. A longer canale or a collector box usually fixes it.
Do you make copper canales?
Yes, copper canales are available and age to a brown patina that suits Pueblo-style homes.
