Maintaining your roof is important for a number of reasons. It not just strengthens your roof against harsh weather conditions, it also increases the likelihood of your insurance provider paying out if you’re a storm damage victim. Also, it implies that once harm does happen, it’s almost always unavoidable. Well-maintained roofing is going to last longer and save you funds in the long term.

Insurance
A building insurer will probably refuse to pay if they think your flat roof was already in bad shape before the harsh weather arrived. So, it is a great idea to have a flat roof inspection done to check the shape of the roof each summer to get prepared for the severe weather temperatures and conditions that come later on during the year. All too often, building insurance policies cover all financial losses that are caused by storm damage.

Install or Repair with EPDM Rubber Roofing
Irrespective of whether the flat roof was damaged by extreme weather like violent winds or not, you definitely should consider getting EPDM rubber roofing installed on the roof by a professional roofing company to avoid all risk of storm damage.

EPDM is a single-ply, very durable synthetic rubber membrane that’s used in low-slope, flat-roofed structures. EPDM has two primary ingredients: propylene and ethylene, which come from oil and natural gas.

Why Should You Install EPDM Rubber Roofing?
EPDM rubber roofing is very durable and is much more resistant to damage and hard-wearing than many other types of roofing materials in the marketplace. Also, this type of roofing material is extremely low-maintenance, since it requires very little care or attention. And not to mention, this kind of high-tech membrane roofing lasts a long time, with its amazing durability that gives it an average lifespan of around 30 years or longer. And even better, EPDM is fully weather and water-proof, enhancing the roofing’s waterproof properties and preventing the risk of clogged drains and water damage.
