EPDM roofing is a rubber membrane roofing system used on flat and low-slope roof areas.
Why It Matters
EPDM can provide durable low-slope roof protection when seams, edges, penetrations, and drainage are handled correctly.
Common Problems
Common issues include seam separation, punctures, shrinkage, ponding water, loose edges, and leaks around penetrations.
Building Codes & Industry Standards
EPDM roofing should follow manufacturer instructions, applicable low-slope roofing requirements, and proper membrane installation standards.
