Frequently Asked Questions
We can well imagine that you have questions, below we have listed the most common questions for you.
The load-bearing capacity of a roof is important because it indicates the capacity of a roof to support the weight of all the elements resting on it. This includes not only the roofing material itself, but also any snow loads, rainwater, roof installations (such as air conditioning systems), and any persons moving on the roof. If a roof does not have sufficient load-bearing capacity, it can lead to structural damage, leaks, collapses or other dangerous situations. Assessing the load-bearing capacity of a roof is a complex task and requires expertise in structural engineering and architecture. It is important to consult a professional engineer or architect to assess a roof's load-bearing capacity and recommend possible modifications if needed. Especially if you are considering a water-storing green roof. Rainup does not advise on the load-bearing capacity of a specific roof, as this depends on many factors, such as the construction, materials and design of the roof. It is essential to leave this to qualified professionals who can perform a thorough on-site assessment if required.
Stormwater disconnection refers to the separation of stormwater that falls on roofs, patios, driveways or other paved surfaces from wastewater that comes from household activities. Instead of releasing stormwater to the sewer system, it is diverted to other water management systems. The purpose of disconnecting stormwater is to reduce the load on the sewer system and promote sustainable water management.
