Commercial & Residential / EPDM Roof Repair
Built layer by layer for Gulf Coast weather.
EPDM rubber membrane is one of the most proven low-slope roofing systems available — but shrinkage, adhesive lap failures, punctures, and flashing pull-aways do develop over time. Most can be repaired with compatible adhesive and EPDM patch material without a full tear-off. Our crews find the real source of the problem and restore your rubber membrane correctly — backed by a workmanship warranty and honest, upfront pricing.
Fast, free, and no obligation.
Common EPDM roof repair problems, identified
Roof Repair
EPDM rubber is exceptionally durable, but shrinkage, adhesive lap failures, and surface crazing do develop over time. Here are the most common issues our crews repair on rubber membrane roofs.
EPDM can shrink over time, pulling away from parapet walls, edges, and flashings — creating open gaps that admit water directly to the insulation and deck below.
EPDM seams rely on contact adhesive or seam tape rather than heat welding. When these bonds fail, seams lift and water enters between the membrane and the substrate.
EPDM flashing at parapet walls and penetrations can pull away as the rubber contracts in cooler weather — a leading cause of leaks on rubber membrane roofs.
EPDM leaks travel easily under a single-ply rubber sheet, often appearing inside far from the real entry point. We walk the entire surface before touching any adhesive or tape.
Age and UV exposure can cause the rubber surface to develop fine cracks or a crazed texture. Left untreated, deeper cracks eventually penetrate the full membrane thickness.
Standing water softens adhesive bonds at laps and adds structural dead load. We clear blocked drains, repair drain collars, and address low spots to restore proper flow.
Why Repair First
Re-bonding a lap or adhering a rubber patch costs a fraction of a full EPDM tear-off — and can add years to an otherwise sound membrane system.
Most EPDM repairs — lap re-bonding, rubber patches, flashing, drain collars — are completed in a single visit with compatible adhesive and patch material on the truck.
We use compatible EPDM patch material, lap adhesive, and seam tape designed for rubber membrane — so repairs bond properly and flex with the membrane through every temperature cycle.
If shrinkage or surface crazing has spread system-wide, we’ll tell you honestly — with a clear explanation of why repair no longer makes economic sense.
Our Repair Process
Every EPDM roof repair follows the same five-step process, so you always know what’s happening and why.
We walk every lap edge, flashing termination, and penetration on the rubber surface to locate the real entry point — not just where water appears inside.
A clear, itemized estimate covering lap re-bonding, rubber patches, flashing, or drain collar repairs — no surprises.
If wind, hail, or storm damage caused the problem, we document everything and work directly with your adjuster to support the claim.
We adhere or tape-bond rubber patches and lap repairs to the existing membrane, replace flashings, and restore drain collars — leaving sound membrane undisturbed.
We press every lap edge, patch perimeter, and flashing termination before leaving — and confirm every adhesive bond is fully cured and watertight.
Repair Services
From lap re-bonding to full patch installations, here are the most common repairs our crews perform on EPDM rubber membrane roofs.
We clean, prime, and re-adhere failed EPDM laps with compatible contact adhesive or seam tape — pressing the full lap width for a complete, durable bond.
For punctures, tears, or abraded sections, we clean, prime, and adhere a compatible EPDM patch — pressing every edge firmly and confirming a full adhesive bond.
We replace failed pipe boots, re-adhere parapet flashing details, and install new drain collars — bonded to the field membrane with compatible EPDM adhesive.
Why Trust Us
EPDM repair requires the right materials, adhesives, and technique. We’ve built our reputation on finding the real leak source and repairs that hold — across Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia.

We understand how rubber membrane systems fail at the lap and flashing level — so we find the real source before we apply any adhesive or tape.
Our EPDM repair work carries a workmanship warranty — so if the same lap or patch fails, we come back and make it right.
A local crew that shows up when we say we will, not a franchise dispatcher routing work from out of state.
Financing Available
Even a targeted repair can be an unexpected expense. Our team works with flexible financing options so cost doesn’t delay a repair and let a small lap failure become a full membrane replacement.
“Our EPDM roof had been leaking for months and no one could find the source. B&A walked every lap seam, found two adhesive failures near the parapet, re-bonded them properly, and we’ve been dry through every storm since.”
