Rubber Roof Repair, Minot, ND
Just like any other commercial roof material, ethylene propylene diene monomer roofs (also called EPDM or rubber roofs) need regular maintenance and repairs. Rubber roofs are a very popular choice for flat or low-sloped commercial roofs, not least because of their affordability, ease of installation, and durability. A properly installed and maintained rubber roof can last as long as 50 years.

Common Rubber Roof Repairs
Many of the problems that come with rubber roofing are the result of poor installation or age. Holes or bubbles are good indicators that your roof needs immediate attention and repair, while the presence of a leak should result in a call to a professional roofing contractor immediately. Here are some of the most common rubber roof repairs we see at Mid-West Roofing Systems:
1) Tears
Rubber roofs are durable, however tears can occur in the membrane if a large or heavy object (such as a tree branch) falls on it or is dragged over it. If the tear is fairly small, a patch may be good enough, however, anything larger than a few inches will require a section of EPDM membrane to fix it. A professional roofer can cut, adhere, and seal a rubber roof tear quickly and permanently.
2) Leaks
The seams of your rubber roof are weak points, susceptible to leaks over time. Seams can be mechanically adhered (screws, nails), or anchored with an adhesive. Either way, they can open up and require a trained professional to repair. Repairs typically involve the application of a primer, seam tape, and sealant.
3) Shrinkage
Another common problem with rubber roofs is their tendency to shrink and upll away from the edges, leaving it open to leaks. Large commercial roofs are especially vulnerable to this issue. Proper maintenance can help keep this form happening and regular repairs can address the issue before it becomes a big, expensive, messy problem.
