Before: Leaks and Aging Membrane Spark Concern in Pataskala, OH
n Pataskala, OH, a homeowner began noticing water stains and signs of leaking from the enclosed porch area. The flat roof above it, covered with an aging EPDM membrane, was no longer doing its job. With years of wear and exposure, the seal had weakened, allowing moisture to sneak in during heavy rains. Understanding the potential for long-term damage, the homeowner reached out to Klaus Larsen Roofing for a reliable, long-lasting fix from a trusted roof repair contractor.
During: Careful Tear-Off and Precision EPDM Installation
Our roof repair and replacement team started by tearing off the old EPDM material and inspecting the roof deck. Once cleared and cleaned, we installed brand-new insulation board, securing it in place with fasteners to create a smooth, level foundation. Then, we carefully rolled out the new EPDM membrane, sealing the seams to create a watertight barrier. Every detail from edge flashing to membrane overlap was handled with precision to ensure maximum protection against future leaks. The transition between the flat roof and the existing shingle section was carefully aligned to maintain both structure and visual flow.
After: Seamless Finish and Leak-Free Peace of Mind
With the new EPDM flat roof installed, the homeowner now enjoys lasting protection and improved curb appeal. The clean, tight membrane fits securely across the porch roof, eliminating prior problem areas. If shingle repair ever becomes necessary, we'll match the Frostone Grey IKO Dynasty shingles already installed to keep everything cohesive. The project was completed quickly and professionally another high-performance job by Klaus Larsen Roofing, a roof replacement company known for quality and care in every detail.
