Green roof inspection.

Modular green roofs can be installed incrementally and are easily removed for maintenance and inspection of the roof layers underneath. If vegetation becomes overly dry it may pose a fire hazard. Green roofs should only be installed according to local municipal ordinances and guidelines. The number of inspections will depend on the greenery in the vicinity of your roof.

Hazards of green roofs. Rain in last 48 hours. Inspect the green roof at least 5 times a year for weeds and seeds carried by the wind and remove these manually. Using regular garden soil may be hazardous as it could contain unknown pathogens and weeds.

Some watering may be required during the first few years when root systems are getting established. Date of last inspection. Yes no if yes list amount and timing. Overhead drip other specify.

To encourage biodiversity we do not recommend the use of chemical pesticides. Green roofs may cause leaks if improperly installed. Do this preferably in the spring before the weeds begin to flower. Once a green roof is well established maintenance requirements are usually minimal.
