Will the food on the top floor leak?
It's easy to leak, because growing vegetables requires more soil. Once the effective load of the roof is exceeded, it will lead to the problem of roof leakage. Therefore, it is not recommended to grow vegetables on the roof of residential quarters, which may easily affect the safety of the whole building. If it is a special planting roof, there is no such problem, and its waterproof measures are up to standard.
What's the harm of growing vegetables on the top floor?
1. It is easy to exceed the effective load of the house.
Growing vegetables on the top floor not only has the weight of vegetables, but also the weight of soil. If the soil area is large and the thickness exceeds 15cm, it is easy to exceed the load of the house at this time, and there is a big safety hazard.
2. It is easy to cause water leakage on the roof.
If the waterproof layer of the top floor of the house is not well done during construction and is damaged in daily use, then planting vegetables on the top floor is prone to problems such as roof leakage.
It's easy to block the sewer.
When planting fruits and vegetables on the top floor, water them regularly and clean up the garbage. If these litters are not cleaned up in time, they will easily flow into the drainage ditch when it is windy and rainy, causing the drainage ditch to be blocked and it is difficult to drain the accumulated water. If it takes a long time, it will also cause water leakage on the top floor.
4. It's easy to affect neighborhood relations.
If residents plant fruits and vegetables on the top floor, resulting in water leakage on the roof, it will affect the decoration and living life of residents on the top floor, easily affect neighborhood relations, and produce contradictions or disputes.
5. It will endanger public safety.
The top floor has the function of fire emergency evacuation. If there are residents planting fruits and vegetables on the top floor, it will affect fire escape to a certain extent and easily lead to accidents such as fires.
