Solving Single-Ply Membrane Roofing Challenges: Restoration Solutions from Abel Roofing

Single-ply membrane roofing systems, including EPDM, TPO, and PVC, are popular choices for commercial buildings due to their durability and cost-effectiveness. However, over time, these roofs can develop issues that compromise their performance. At Abel Roofing and Construction Inc., we’ve spent over two decades perfecting our restoration techniques for single-ply membrane roofs. Let’s explore common problems and our innovative solutions.

Challenge 1: Seam Failures

Problem: Over time, the seams in single-ply membranes can separate, leading to leaks and water infiltration.

  • Thorough inspection to identify all compromised seams
  • Advanced seam repair techniques using compatible adhesives or heat welding
  • Application of reinforced coating over seams for added protection

Benefit: Restored water-tight integrity without full membrane replacement

Challenge 2: Membrane Shrinkage

Problem: Some single-ply membranes, particularly EPDM, can shrink over time, pulling away from walls and flashings.

Our Solution:

  • Careful assessment of shrinkage extent
  • Re-securing of membrane where possible
  • Installation of additional membrane material to compensate for shrinkage
  • Application of elastomeric coating to allow for future movement

Benefit: Extended roof life and improved performance without complete tear-off

Challenge 3: Punctures and Tears

Problem: Foot traffic, debris, or severe weather can cause punctures or tears in the membrane.

Our Solution:

  • Precise repair of damaged areas using manufacturer-approved methods
  • Reinforcement of high-traffic areas with walkway pads
  • Application of protective coating over the entire surface for added durability

Benefit: Enhanced resilience against future damage and improved overall roof strength

Challenge 4: UV Degradation

Problem: Prolonged sun exposure can cause single-ply membranes to deteriorate, leading to cracking and reduced performance.

Our Solution:

  • Application of UV-resistant coating systems
  • Restoration of roof surface to like-new condition
  • Regular maintenance plan to monitor and address UV impact

Benefit: Increased roof lifespan and improved energy efficiency through reflective coatings

Challenge 5: Poor Drainage

Problem: Inadequate slope or blocked drainage can lead to ponding water, which accelerates roof deterioration.

Our Solution:

  • Comprehensive drainage assessment
  • Installation of additional drains or scuppers where necessary
  • Creation of proper slope using tapered insulation systems
  • Application of waterproof coating to protect against standing water

Benefit: Improved water management and reduced risk of leaks and structural damage

Challenge 6: Flashing Deterioration

Problem: Flashings around roof penetrations and edges are common failure points in single-ply roofing systems.

Our Solution:

  • Detailed inspection of all flashing areas
  • Repair or replacement of damaged flashings
  • Application of reinforced liquid flashing for superior protection
  • Integration of flashing restoration with overall roof coating system

Benefit: Enhanced protection at critical roof junctions and reduced risk of water infiltration
