Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water infiltration prevention for rooftop gardens, and more particularly to a water infiltration prevention device for rooftop gardens. Background Technology

[0002] As we all know, various terrace gardens, rooftop gardens, and utility balconies rely on floor drains for drainage. During stormy weather or other special circumstances, these drains are easily clogged by fallen leaves or other debris, preventing drainage from the terrace floor and turning it into a large pool of water. If the homeowner is not home at this time, or is resting at night, they often cannot promptly discover and clear the debris blocking the drains. The accumulated water will then seep into the house through door gaps, stairwells, etc., causing unnecessary damage.

[0003] This device can effectively prevent this from happening. When water accumulates on the terrace due to poor drainage, the device will start a water pump to automatically pump out the water and also send an alarm to the homeowner's mobile phone, so that the homeowner can check the situation on the terrace in time and avoid unnecessary losses.
