Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer (EPDM), commonly referred to as a rubber roof, is widely regarded by commercial building owners. It is an excellent alternative to the traditional asphalt shingles or many other options, especially if you have a slightly sloped or flat roof on top of your commercial premises.
The materials used in rubber roofing are a mix of sawdust, recycled tires, and slate dust. These materials are normally produced in the form of rolls, which are then installed on the roof decks as overlapping sheets.
Rubber roofs offer many different benefits for both your business and your commercial building. For starters, it is very affordable compared to some of the other first-rate roofing options. Furthermore, rubber roofs are known to have a lifespan of over 30 years. This is because of its UV and fire-resistant nature, resilience, and fewer seams. Additionally, rubber roofs can significantly enhance the energy efficiency of your commercial building. Finally, rubber roofs provide an environmentally friendly solution to your commercial building since the materials are 100% recyclable.

Rubber Roof Repairs by Yoder Commercial Roofing
Although a rubber roof has a lifespan of decades, without proper upkeep its life can be cut short significantly. Here are some of the common problems your rubber roof can run into, and you should keep an eye out for:
- Leaks: Although rubber roofing is made of waterproof material, if it is not installed or maintained properly it can develop cracks and subsequent leaks, over time.
- Water pooling: Problematic pooling areas can start to develop, particularly if there are low spots or poor drainage. As a result, puddles of water begin accumulating in those areas. Pooling leads to system breakdown.
- Shrinkage: Poor installation, maintenance, and exposure to sun can cause the seams of your rubber roof to shrink over time. This results in cracks, and splits, and eventually leaks start to develop.
