Roofing membranes can be used in both residential and commercial applications. Their main types include EPDM, TPO, and PVC. When installed properly, they will protect your property, your belongings, and the occupants of your home or building against harsh outdoor conditions.
One problem that can occur in this material is seam failure. A trusted roof and seamless gutter installer explain why this issue happens.
A long list of problems can develop when your contractor fails to install your roof correctly. When seams are not sealed properly, there will be gaps where water can enter. Once water penetrates the material, mold, mildew, rot, electrical system issues and other moisture-related problems can occur.
You can save yourself from this hassle by working with a dependable contractor. Experienced professionals know how to install roofing membranes and minimize the chances of seam failure. Whether you need new seamless gutters or roof repairs, Deschutes Roofing is more than happy to help.
Your roof is exposed to harsh elements such as the sun’s UV rays, strong winds and heavy rains. It’s normal for all roofing materials to deteriorate as they age. Over time, your roofing membrane will shrink, get brittle and decline. If you have an old roof that fails at the seams, it’s probably time to consider replacing it.
Mistakes when installing the insulation can also result in membrane seam failure. If the insulation isn’t properly secured to the roof, it will get deformed beneath the membrane. As the material shifts, it will pull on the seams, causing cracks and tears in different areas of the roof.
