EPDM roofing in Prairie Village
EPDM is a rubber membrane. Its seams, patches and terminations use compatible bonding and repair products, so a repair method intended for a different membrane should not be substituted.

EPDM repairs in Prairie Village
Loose seams, punctures and failed penetration details need preparation that suits the existing rubber membrane. The repair extends onto sound material and resolves the connection at the edge of the opening. Previous coatings or incompatible patches can complicate adhesion.
A compatible EPDM repair
Prepared rubber membrane
A patch bonds to clean, sound and compatible material.
Seams and accessories

Existing alterations
Coatings and earlier patches affect what preparation and repair are suitable.
Movement, ballast and the roof edge
An EPDM assembly can be adhered, mechanically attached or ballasted, with different access and attachment considerations. The field membrane and perimeter have to remain connected as the building and materials move. The existing assembly determines the repair approach.
EPDM replacement and underlying moisture
Wet insulation or a weak deck changes the project below the visible rubber. Replacement planning includes removal, insulation and attachment, perimeter details and equipment penetrations. A residential shingle budget does not apply to this scope.
Establish the existing assembly
Identify the covering, attachment and insulation condition.
Resolve the underlying work
Remove unsuitable layers and address deck or insulation damage as required.
Connect the new roof
Coordinate drainage, edges and penetrations with the selected system.
