Flat Roof Failures on Farrell Properties Have One Common Cause — Poor Installation
Flat Roof Failures on Farrell Properties Have One Common Cause — Poor Installation
Farrell's older homes — the Foursquares and two-story sticks built near Roemer Boulevard during the city's steel-era growth — were expanded repeatedly as families added garages, rear additions, and enclosed porches over the decades. Most of those additions have low-slope or flat rooflines. When those flat sections start leaking, the call we get is almost always the same: a previous contractor installed EPDM over the old system, didn't seal the seams properly, and now the leak is worse than before.
EPDM is a system built for flat and low-slope roofs when it's installed correctly. When it isn't, it's an expensive problem. TriState installs EPDM rubber roofing systems on Farrell residential and commercial properties using fully adhered or mechanically fastened methods, proper seam tape bonded correctly, and perimeter terminations at parapet walls, drains, and penetrations detailed to manufacturer spec.
EPDM Installation Method Matters — Here's What We Use
There are three ways to install EPDM: fully adhered, mechanically fastened, or ballasted. On Farrell residential structures — garages, additions, and porches attached to homes near Roemer Boulevard and through the residential grid — we typically use fully adhered systems for their superior wind resistance and reduced membrane movement under Mercer County's heavy winter snow loads. The membrane is bonded directly to the substrate with bonding adhesive, seams are lapped and sealed with seam tape. All edges are terminated with clamping bars, liquid adhesive flashing, or mechanically fastened edge detail appropriate to the structure.
We use 60-mil or 90-mil EPDM membrane depending on the structure and exposure. Thicker membrane provides more resistance to hail impact, which matters in Farrell given its border position and exposure to storm systems crossing from northeast Ohio. When a storm event causes hail damage to an existing EPDM system, we document the damage for insurance purposes and can handle the claim process from inspection through settlement.

- Post-installation inspection and water test
- CompanyCam documentation before, during, and after installation
Hail Damage to Your Farrell Flat Roof Is a Covered Loss
EPDM membranes are more vulnerable to hail impact than asphalt shingles. A hail event significant enough to impact Farrell — and Mercer County sees several qualifying events per season given its proximity to Ohio storm tracks. Can leave impact craters or punctures in EPDM that aren't visible from the ground. After any significant storm, a free inspection of your flat roof sections costs nothing and protects your insurance claim rights.
We document every impact point and handle the carrier process from start to finish.
EPDM Systems We Install
Flat & Low-Slope Roofing Systems
EPDM rubber membrane is the right solution for flat and low-slope roofs on garages, additions, and older commercial structures.
Fully Adhered
Membrane glued directly to the substrate using bonding adhesive. Maximum wind uplift resistance. Best for most residential flat roofs.
Mechanically Fastened
Membrane secured with fasteners and cover plates at seams. Faster installation. Good for large low-slope commercial decks.
Ballasted
Membrane held in place with smooth river stone. Lowest cost per square. Best for larger flat roofs with adequate structural load capacity.
