Rubber (EPDM) Roofing in Urbana, Illinois

Rubber (EPDM) Roofing in Urbana means roofing built for the Illinois climate - the heat, the humidity, and the storms. The Illinois heat and the humidity feed the algae and the moss on the shaded slopes, and the tree debris coats the surface.

Signs Your Urbana Roof Needs Rubber (EPDM) Roofing

• Cracked or brittle areas - the UV has aged the rubber
• Punctures or tears - the debris has damaged the membrane
• Seam separation - the adhesive has failed at the joints
• Ponding water - the drainage is not working
• Leaks at the flashings - the thermal cycling has loosened the seals

Why Urbana Roofs Need Rubber (EPDM) Roofing

The flexibility is the main advantage of the EPDM in the climate. The rubber expands and contracts with the temperature swings.

The UV resistance is the second advantage. The EPDM is formulated for the sun exposure.

How We Do Rubber (EPDM) Roofing in Urbana

1. Inspect the roof deck - check the structure and the insulation
2. Prepare the surface - the clean, dry, and smooth substrate
3. Lay the EPDM membrane - the single-ply sheet over the insulation
4. Seam the joints - the adhesive or the tape for the watertight seams
5. Flash the penetrations - the drains, the vents, and the curbs
