KENNEBUNK — New roof drains will be installed at Kennebunk Elementary School before the start of the school year, after three failing drains have led to flooding concerns.

The drains failed during a storm June 23, flooding 29 classrooms, bathrooms and hallways. While the three failing neoprene drains have been replaced with new cast iron drains, RSU 21 Facilities Supervisor Alyce Swan received support from the RSU 21 Board of Directors for replacing the remaining 24 roof drains.

"We're really in a good place right now," Swan said of the work that's been completed, which included removing all wet materials like carpet, wall tiles, and classroom items. "Everything that was wet, it went. We sort of worried about the rest of it later. There were a lot of people here working as quickly as we could to get the water out of the building, but having said that, there was a lot of water."

She said the roof drains have "been a problem," causing issues three other times in the building, which opened in 2004, though not as severe. Swan said changing all 27 drains to a cast iron system will take care of concerns.

"It's really nerve-wracking every time it rains," Swan said.

The drains used at KES are not in any other school in the RSU, Swan said. Swan said she reviewed files from when KES was constructed and found that the builder wanted to change plans from the neoprene drains to cast iron, but that never took place.
