ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE In a roof drain assembly comprising an existing roof structure having an opening therethrough with a drainage duct extending downwardly through the opening, and a re-roofing structure which includes a layer of insulation and which is disposed over the existing roof structure with an opening through the re-roofing structure in alignment with the opening through the existing roof structure, a drain extension pipe extends through the opening in the re-roofing structure and into the upper end portion of the drainage duct. The portion of the drain extension pipe within the drainage duct is of a non-resiliently deformable material such as lead, and this non-resiliently deformable portion of the drain extension pipe is outwardly mechanically deformed against the drainage duct to provide a substantially water-tight seal therebetween. This back-up of rain- water between the drain extension pipe and the drainage duct and which could cause deterioration of the insula- tion of the re-roofing structure is substantially prevented in a manner which is less expensive and more effective than previously proposed and used arrangements for achieving this objective. The outward mechanical deformation of the non-resiliently deformable portion of the drain extension pipe is achieved by means of a tool including an expansion assembly comprising an upper plate, a lower plate spaced below the upper plate, and a resili- ently deformable annulus disposed between the upper and lower plates. In use an outer tube to which the upper plate is secured is prevented from turning, and an inner shaft which is screw-threadedly disposed through the upper plate and on the lower end of which the lower plate is mounted is turned in the appropriate direction to cause the lower plate to move towards the upper plate with resultant axial compression and outward expansion of the resiliently deformable annulus against the non-resiliently deformable portion of the drain extension pipe.
