Inspecting an EPDM roof is important for identifying and addressing any issues before they become major problems.
👉 Examine the surface for any visible damage, such as punctures, cuts, or tears.
👉 Look for signs of ponding water, which can lead to deterioration over time.
👉 Check for debris, dirt, or vegetation growth that should be cleared.
Seams and Flashings:
👉 Inspect seams for signs of separation, peeling, or adhesive failure.
👉 Check flashings, including those around vents, chimneys, and edges, for any issues.
Edge Details:
👉 Ensure that the edge terminations are secure and not pulling away.
👉 Look for any signs of edge metal corrosion or damage.
👉 Inspect any roof penetrations, like pipes and HVAC units, for signs of damage or loose seals.
👉 Check for proper sealant and flashing around penetrations.
👉 Ensure that the EPDM membrane is securely fastened at the roof's perimeter.
🫶 Regular inspections and maintenance can help extend the lifespan of your EPDM roof.
