Not all roof leaks are caused by age — sometimes they're caused by poor installation.
This EPDM roof was failing because the previous membrane was not fully adhered to the substrate. Over time, water found its way beneath the roofing system, completely saturating the underlying cover board and creating multiple leaks throughout the property.
Our solution started with removing all compromised materials and rebuilding the system the right way. The new roof assembly includes high-density (HD) cover board, reinforced corner treatment with target patches/rush strips, custom-fabricated edge metal, and a fully adhered EPDM membrane installed to manufacturer specifications.
The difference between a roof that lasts and a roof that leaks often comes down to the details. Proper preparation, proper materials, and proper installation ensure a long-lasting, watertight roofing system that performs for decades.
