A low slope roof holds water where a pitched one sheds it, and Charlotte metro.

At a glance

  • Shingles do not belong on a low slope. Water sits and gets under them.
  • Ponding that lasts more than two days is a drainage fault, not weather.
  • EPDM is the black rubber. TPO is the white sheet that reflects heat.
  • Most low slope leaks are at a seam, a drain, or where the roof meets a wall.

A well installed membrane gives twenty to thirty years. Standing water and foot traffic are what shorten it.

Some membranes take traffic and some do not. Ask before you put anything up there.
