You are concerned about your roof. Perhaps you have noticed a leak and need to have it fixed, or perhaps you are simply worried that leaks could be coming soon. Maybe you worry about the damages UV rays are causing to the roof, wearing it down prematurely. Fortunately, there is a way to protect your roof, and you can do it on your own. EPDM Liquid Rubber roofing is an ideal solution for those who want to protect their roof properly. Let’s look at some of the things you can do to get started.

Get Your Tools and Clean the Roof

You will need to have cleaning materials including brooms and wire brushes. In some cases, a pressure washer could be handy, too. You will also need the EPDM Liquid Rubber roofing, as well as rollers and brushes for the application.

Once you have the materials you need, you need to clean the roof properly before you can get started. Start by sweeping off the large debris, but make sure you are very meticulous about getting off as much debris and gunk as possible. In some cases, this could include scrubbing areas with a wire brush just to make sure that you are getting all the loose rust or other materials off. Spray the roof and let it dry.

Apply Wisely

Fortunately, the EPDM Liquid Rubber roofing will go on nice and easy, very much like paint. Apply it with rollers, and brushes in areas that might be hard to reach. When you are applying the coating, be sure that you have enough to cover the entire roof, and that you paint the roof in a manner that still allows you to get down from it safely. The last thing you want to do is paint yourself into a corner.

Something else you will want to consider when you are applying the EPDM Liquid Rubber roofing is the weather. Ideally, you will want to do this in good weather, when it is sunny and in the upper 50s F. This way, it will dry and cure faster. One of the nice things about the coating though is that even if it were to start raining right after you applied it, your roof would still be protected. It would simply take longer to dry and cure.

Is DIY Always the Right Way to Go?

While it is certainly possible to take care of the coating on your own, you might not have the time or the inclination to apply the EPDM Liquid Rubber roofing. In that case, you may want to speak with a roofing specialist in your area who can take care of the application for you instead. You can buy the materials and then just have the specialist take care of the application. Depending on the size of your roof, it should not take long at all. It might not be quite as cost effective as DIY, but it should still be affordable.

Now that you know more about EPDM Liquid Rubber roofing and how you can apply it, get started. It is the perfect way to make sure your roof is safe from leaks and UV rays.
