    EPDM Roofing System

    At Markit Roofing, we provide EPDM roofing systems for flat and low-slope roofs that need durable waterproofing, flexible protection, and long-lasting performance. EPDM, or ethylene propylene diene monomer, is a synthetic rubber membrane designed to resist sunlight, rain, snow, and temperature movement. This roofing option works well for commercial, industrial, and residential buildings where leak protection and simple maintenance are important.

    With professional installation, proper surface preparation, and quality materials, an EPDM roofing system can protect the structure, reduce moisture risks, and support reliable roof performance for many years in changing Alberta weather conditions with dependable service and care, and better long-term building value.

    What is an EPDM Roofing System?

    An EPDM roofing system is a single-ply rubber membrane designed to cover flat and low-slope roofs with a seamless, protective surface. The membrane is usually installed in large sheets, which helps reduce joints and possible leak points. Because EPDM remains flexible across a wide temperature range, it performs well in changing weather and protects buildings from moisture damage year after year.

    • Made From Synthetic Rubber Membrane
    • Suitable For Flat & Low Slope Roofs
    • Flexible In Hot & Cold Weather
    • Helps Reduce Leaks & Roof Damage
    EPDM is also valued for its easier repairs and routine maintenance compared with many heavier roofing options. Contractors can secure the membrane using adhesive, fasteners, or ballast, depending on the roof design. When seams, edges, drains, and flashing areas are installed correctly, the system creates reliable protection against water entry and long-term surface wear in busy commercial settings today.

    Types Of EPDM Roofing

    EPDM roofing systems are available in various installation styles, and each type is selected based on the building structure, roof slope, wind exposure, insulation needs, and budget. Some systems use full adhesive for a smooth finish, while others use fasteners or ballast for secure placement. Choosing the right type helps improve waterproofing, durability, and overall roof performance on every roofing project.
    • Fully Adhered EPDM Roofing
    • Mechanically Attached EPDM Roofing
    • Ballasted EPDM Roofing
    • Reinforced EPDM Roofing
    • Non-Reinforced EPDM Roofing
    A roofing expert checks the existing surface before recommending any EPDM type, because poor preparation can affect seam strength and membrane life. The final choice also depends on drainage, rooftop equipment, foot traffic, and long-term maintenance plans. With correct product selection and skilled installation, EPDM roofing can deliver dependable protection for flat and low-slope buildings across many climates today.

    Our Process

    Roof Inspection and Assessment

    Our process begins with a detailed roof inspection to understand the current condition of the surface, drainage, seams, flashing, insulation, and problem areas. We check for ponding water, cracks, loose materials, moisture signs, and weak spots that may affect the new EPDM membrane. This step helps us recommend the right installation method and prepare an accurate project plan.
     
    By carefully reviewing the roof before work starts, we reduce surprises, improve material selection, and ensure the EPDM roofing system is properly designed around the building’s real needs and long-term protection goals.

    Surface Preparation and Installation

    After inspection, we prepare the roof surface to ensure the EPDM membrane is installed correctly. This may include cleaning debris, removing damaged materials, leveling uneven areas, improving insulation, and making sure the substrate is dry and stable. Proper preparation is important because even a high-quality membrane can fail if it is placed over a weak base.
     
    Once the surface is ready, the EPDM sheets are positioned, bonded, fastened, or ballasted according to the chosen system, with special care taken around seams, edges, penetrations, drains, and flashing details to ensure clean, watertight performance over time on site.

    Final Check and Maintenance Guidance

    Once installation is complete, we inspect the finished EPDM roofing system to confirm that seams are secure, edges are sealed, drainage points are clear, and all detail work is properly completed. We look for any visible gaps, wrinkles, weak bonds, or areas that need adjustment before the project is closed.

    After the final check, we guide the building owner on basic care, cleaning, inspection timing, and signs to watch for. This helps extend roof life and keeps the system performing reliably through changing seasons with fewer unexpected repair issues and better confidence in the future.
