Rubber (EPDM) Roofing in Cleveland, Tennessee

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

Signs Your Cleveland 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 Cleveland 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 Cleveland

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

Preventing Problems in Cleveland

• 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
