John Dirks Jr Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 I don't see too much EPDM but today I had one that did not look totally correct. Should there be a cant strip at the pitch transition? What about the part wrapped over the hip ridge? It's just caulked down. Should there be a securing strip with fasteners there?

Marc Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 I doubt any EPDM manufacturer gives instructions for laying his product on top of shingles. This is an example of a 'contractor gone wild'. I'd just state it likely violates the manufacturer's installation instructions so if it holds, its because you're lucky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 What they've got there is an expensive tarp. It's time to hire a real roofer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Baird Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 I saw the same thing done with mod bit where low pitch valleys didn't give water a clear path. Air pockets and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
