EPDM just does not hold up in Florida, it has immensely improved over the
years but it just cant hold up to the sun. I have been doing very
successful repairs on it using polyurethane elastomeric and fabric. Much
easier and more successful than an EPDM repair.

I hate epdm I stick to my torch down and corogated

@thapintster Another issue is that rubber roofs are GLUED and glue WILL
fall apart sooner or later, no matter how well you install the roof. It’s
just how it is. Also rubber CANNOT hold ponding water, so it’s unsuitable
for so many flat roofs, and yet roofers still install it on dead-pitch
roofs, and those leak. Buy hey – it gives us work 🙂

@buddinator65 This isn’t just one job – this is a very common practice
among roofers – at least in Boston. And EPDM rubber is partially to blame,
because Manufacturers and Suppliers do not require certifications, and all
the hacks can buy it from a roofing supply, and they encourage shinglers to
buy it and install it – and these are the results. Now even home depot is
selling rubber roofing and accessories – man, we going to have so much work
:))

jesus christ who roofed that stevie wounder??….step aside for the real
roofers the asphalters
latonanthony · September 29, 2014 at 12:42 PM
yes EPDM is a great product if it is installed properly! i have been using
firestone EPDM for many years now and have no problems what so ever! Its
the same with every trade or product, if its not done right it will fail,
Period! Also in respects of ponding, alot of domestic roofs are done in one
big piece so ponding isnt a problem at all. and if the joints are done
correctly it shouldnt be a problem as firestone epdm is used for pond
liners. so think this is abit of a give away LMAO.
buddinator65 · September 29, 2014 at 1:35 PM
We’ve been doing EPDM for years and have not had a single call back or
leak. Of course, we don’t install it like that mangled job in the video.
That’s a joke and an embarrassment to all flat roofers. Done right, EPDM
will last for decades without a hitch.
skaterbomber · September 29, 2014 at 2:11 PM
rubber roofs are great to use for zero pitch roofs if done properly. i
would love to send u some before and after pics i have. when i am finished
it can be a swimming pool and wont leak. and u think the seams will only
last 15 years? your so very wrong. as long as everything is done right. and
there isnt anything that can puncture it. tree limbs, people using it for a
deck. ect. they will last 50 plus years no problem. its all about the
roofer.
coolflatroof · September 29, 2014 at 2:15 PM
@thapintster yes that is so. please do not use foul language. also – yes
this roof is a horrible hack job, but this is the curse of rubber roofing –
it’s too easy for any home improvement guy or a roofer to become
“commercial roofing contractor” and start installing rubber roofing, as it
does not require any special tools or a huge investment in equipment.
that’s why there are SO many roofs like that out there. we will be
replacing a 1 yr old rubber roof soon in Boston MA
Sean O'Meara · September 29, 2014 at 3:01 PM
Agreed those jobs are dreadful and if I was a roofer I would be ashamed,
however I install ponds, lakes and reservoirs and the primary material for
this work is EPDM rubber liners. So for lots of people to suggest it wont
hold water is ridiculous.
thapintster · September 29, 2014 at 3:30 PM
fucken hell…..someone needs shot for that. gives any kind of flat roofing
a bad name
ozzyredwings · September 29, 2014 at 3:43 PM
I love EPDM, been installing them(properly) since 1984 and never had a call
back.
Don Ackerman · September 29, 2014 at 4:03 PM
Coolflatroof – all glue will fall apart sooner of later – really ? Guess we
should never use plywood then. Have you ever seen an adhered roof (EPDM.
TPO, PVC, KEE) that was properly installed have the adhesive fail? I would
take adhered over Mechanically fastened 98 time out of 100, 99 out 100 over
ballasted. However – your smart phone roof estimator app looks very cool.
coolflatroof · September 29, 2014 at 4:52 PM
@skaterbomber – Are you ignorant or you live in a fantasy world? Rubber is
not made for ponding water – period! Ponding water VOIDS the warranty from
ANY rubber roof manufacturer. They will tell you that they will allow it if
you use 6″ seam tape AND 6″ cover tape on ALL seams. But when it fails,
they won’t honor the warranty due to ponding water. So don’t tell me about
your imaginary swimming pools with rubber roof… Also see two “Horrible
Rubber Roof” videos linked at the top of the video.
Rob Barker · September 29, 2014 at 5:20 PM
use it all the time and the hack roofers your following around are a joke,
epdm is a good producct if used properly , pond liners like he said work
great in full pieces or at least detailed corectly
Carl Smith · September 29, 2014 at 5:36 PM
what’s with the two north east guys you them a little rubber they can talk
all nite long
coolflatroof · September 29, 2014 at 6:06 PM
@SuperMickjr I don’t know man, but the warranty on this was immediately
voided by manufacturer
eddufieldsupervisor · September 29, 2014 at 6:20 PM
that really looks bad
coolflatroof · September 29, 2014 at 7:03 PM
@jeffreyruhe Jeff, as you can see, rubber roofs are installed by hacks ALL
TOO OFTEN, because it’s sold to any “roofer” by roofing suppliers. And even
when installed right – seams will never hold 15-20 years… never mind 40
years. The glue WILL break down and rubber roof will leak sooner or later
jeffreyruhe · September 29, 2014 at 7:24 PM
Epdm is a high quality material, but will only hold well when proper
installed. i am working whit epdm resitrix sk for years and dont have any
problems myself, but i agree whit this video that shows lots of badly
installed roofs. but again when good installed epdm can hold for 40 to 50
years sorry for the bad english
extremevalid · September 29, 2014 at 7:55 PM
Holy christ. that roof looks like its laid by the Hunchback of Notre Dame
Joyce de botton · September 29, 2014 at 8:40 PM
