What are EPDM rubber roofs?

Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) rubber roofing is a popular choice for commercial and residential properties in the United States. The material is composed of two main ingredients: propylene and ethylene. EPDM rubber roofs have superior durability and longevity; they may last from 12 to 25+ years, depending on the thickness. EPDM rubber roofs are light and flexible and can be used on all kinds of roofs (flat, low, or steep). They are cost-effective and resistant to wind, UV radiation, and extreme radiation. Additionally, rubber roofs are watertight and insulating, which will lower your energy costs.

Common issues with rubber roofs

Water ponding is a concern for rubber roofs; standing water for more than 48 hours will result in damage. Most of the time, however, poor rubber roof installation reduces the roof’s longevity. Cracking due to sun exposure can also harm your rubber roof. Leaks in EPDM can happen due to punctures in or damage to the membrane, shrinkage, incorrectly installed flashing, or wrinkles extending into the roof seams. As a rubber roof owner, other issues you may encounter include bond loosening, puncture damage, blow-offs, and shrinkage. Damage or wear and tear to a rubber roof doesn’t mean you always have to replace it.

What can we do for you?

Not looking for a replacement? We offer reliable rubber roof repair services, some of which are as follows:

• Conducting a roof inspection to identify and locate damage to your rubber roof
