EPDM or Rubber Roof installations can fail if they are installed improperly. In this episode, Drew walks you through a porch Flat-Roof repair.
Decades ago, flat roofs covered in EPDM rubber roofing were only found in commercial applications. More recently there is a trend to use these products in the residential market where decks are installed on top of living space, or in the case of a decorative front porch with a flat top featuring a railing. In this first video, we show you the wood repair from the damaged caused. It appears the original installer used a petroleum based sealant on the railing bolts, which prematurely ate the rubber and caused the leak.
In this second video, we show you the after photos, and talk a little more about the right kind of sealant for any penetrations that must be made in EPDM roofing.
If you have a Flat-roof and you are looking for a roofing contractor to diagnose some problems with it, or simply a roofer to replace the EPDM membrane, take some photos and give our team a call 484-748-7708. We look forward to serving you soon!
