Claim:
A high-visibility roof-drain cover comprising: a roof-drain cover; an elongated flag; and coupler means for mounting the flag to the roof-drain cover; such that the flag extends upwardly from the roof-drain cover a sufficient distance that a top portion of the flag will remain visible above an accumulation of wind-blown debris and snow; wherein the flag defines a first flag end and a second flag end; wherein the first flag end is up when the second flag end is mounted to the roof-drain cover; wherein the second flag end is up when the first flag mounted to the roof-drain cover; and wherein at least one of the flag ends is visibly marked; and such that first flag end up is visibly distinguishable over second flag end up; and such that reversing the vertical orientation of the flag, after inspecting the roof-drain cover, provides a visual indication that an inspection has been performed; wherein the flag and the cavity are sized to allow either end of the flag to fit easily into the cavity, such that the flag may be removable.
