Solution — "I want a landscaped or green roof that won't leak"

Green Roof & Planted Deck Waterproofing

A green roof is a beautiful and a sustainable addition to a building, but it is also one of the most demanding waterproofing environments in construction. The waterproofing is buried under the soil, the planting, and the drainage, and it is not accessible for repair. If the waterproofing fails, the entire green roof has to be removed to find the leak — so the waterproofing has to be right the first time. The waterproofing system for a green roof is a membrane that is designed to be buried. The membrane is applied to the prepared deck, and it is detailed at the parapets, the drains, the penetrations, and the movement joints. The membrane is then protected with a root barrier that prevents the roots of the planting from penetrating the membrane, and the drainage layer that carries the water away. The most important part of a green roof is the drainage. The water that falls on the green roof has to be carried away from the membrane, and it has to be carried away quickly. The drainage layer is a geotextile that is placed over the membrane, and it carries the water to the drains. The drains are protected with a filter that prevents the soil from blocking them. The membrane is also detailed at the parapets and the upstands. The membrane is carried up the parapet to a height that is above the level of the soil, and it is terminated with a metal flashing that protects the top of the membrane. The membrane is also detailed at the drains, the penetrations, and the movement joints. We also need to consider the weight of the green roof. The soil, the planting, and the water that is held in the soil add a significant weight to the deck, and the structure has to be designed to carry that weight. We work with the structural engineer to make sure the deck is designed for the green roof. The result is a green roof that is waterproof, a green roof that is drained, and a green roof that is protected. We document the system, we provide the specification, and we stand behind the warranty. The first thing we do is look at the roof. The roof is the structure that is the green, and the roof is the structure that is the water. We look at the roof, the deck, and the drainage, and we find the cause of the problem. The deck of the roof is the first thing we check. The deck is the concrete that is the roof, and the deck is the concrete that is the water. We check the deck, the falls, and the drainage, and we find the path of the water. The drainage of the roof is the next thing we check. The drainage is the system that is the roof, and the drainage is the system that is the water. We check the drainage, the drains, and the outlets, and we find the path of the water. The result is a roof that is green, a roof that is protected, and a roof that is the water. We find the path of the water, and we stop the water. The first thing we do is look at the roof.
