EPDM Re-Roof on 80,000 sq ft Elkhart Warehouse
Elkhart, Indiana
Full EPDM tear-off and replacement on an aging warehouse roof in Elkhart, completed without halting tenant operations.
Overview
Project overview
An 80,000 square foot warehouse in Elkhart had reached the end of its original EPDM roof life after more than 20 years. Active tenants and product inventory inside ruled out a long shutdown.
Customer challenge
The challenge
The existing membrane was brittle, seams were failing, and patch repairs were no longer holding. Ownership needed a full replacement, but tenants could not vacate and product stored inside could not be exposed to moisture or contamination.
Solution
What we did
- Phased tear-off in 5,000 square foot sections so the roof was always watertight at end of day.
- Mechanically attached 60 mil EPDM with new insulation board to bring the assembly up to current R-value.
- All penetrations re-flashed and new perimeter metal installed.
- Daily site cleanup and coordination with tenant operations to keep loading dock access open.
Results
Results
- Completed in 11 working weeks with zero interior water intrusion.
- New 20 year manufacturer warranty on membrane.
- Improved thermal performance lowered HVAC load on summer afternoons.
