Rubber (EPDM) Roofing in Wheeling, Illinois
Rubber (EPDM) Roofing in Wheeling 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 Wheeling 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 Wheeling 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 Wheeling
- Inspect the roof deck - check the structure and the insulation
- Prepare the surface - the clean, dry, and smooth substrate
- Lay the EPDM membrane - the single-ply sheet over the insulation
- Seam the joints - the adhesive or the tape for the watertight seams
- Flash the penetrations - the drains, the vents, and the curbs

Preventing Problems in Wheeling
- Inspect the membrane after every storm - the debris causes the punctures
- Check the seams each spring - the thermal cycling stresses the adhesive
- Apply the white coating when the membrane ages - the UV protection extends the life
- Keep the debris off the roof - the sharp objects can puncture the rubber
The EPDM rubber roof is a reliable choice for the Wheeling flat roof. The flexibility handles the temperature swings and the white coating reflects the heat. The right maintenance keeps the membrane watertight for 20 years.
