Inspecting an EPDM roof is important for identifying and addressing any issues before they become major problems.
๐ Examine the surface for any visible damage, such as punctures, cuts, or tears.
๐ Look for signs of ponding water, which can lead to deterioration over time.
๐ Check for debris, dirt, or vegetation growth that should be cleared.
Seams and Flashings:
๐ Inspect seams for signs of separation, peeling, or adhesive failure.
๐ Check flashings, including those around vents, chimneys, and edges, for any issues.
Edge Details:
๐ Ensure that the edge terminations are secure and not pulling away.
๐ Look for any signs of edge metal corrosion or damage.
๐ Inspect any roof penetrations, like pipes and HVAC units, for signs of damage or loose seals.
๐ Check for proper sealant and flashing around penetrations.
๐ Ensure that the EPDM membrane is securely fastened at the roof's perimeter.
๐ซถ Regular inspections and maintenance can help extend the lifespan of your EPDM roof.
