Preventing Roof Problems in Santa Monica

• Check for the ponding water — the standing water degrades the membrane
• Check the seams each year — the seam tape can lift over time
• Use the corrosion-resistant flashing — the salt air eats the standard metal
• Protect the membrane from the foot traffic — the punctures are the leak point

Expert tip: in Santa Monica, the EPDM roof needs the seams and the flashing done right. The seam tape needs to bond cleanly and the flashing needs to resist the salt air. The proper prep is the key.
