Roof Replacement Photo Album: No More Ponding Water with a New EDPM Roofing System in Waterbury, CT

Inspector Geoff headed out to Waterbury after Nitza reached out about one of her apartment buildings that was showing signs of trouble. She’d noticed ponding water and suspected there might be internal damage. Geoff took a look and walked her through our high-quality Versico EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) flat roofing system—and Nitza was ready to get it done right. Project Manager Bill and his crew got to work, and once they removed the old materials, they uncovered a hidden culprit: ant-damaged plywood causing that pesky ponding. No problem for our team! They replaced the compromised sheathing with strong new CDX plywood, added premium insulation, and sealed the deal with a sleek black Versico VersiGard EPDM membrane. Now Nitza’s roof is looking sharp, sealed tight, and ready for anything. Brown Won't Let You Down!

Before: Puddle Problem

Here's a look at Nitza's old roof. Years of wear and tear on substandard materials have caused puddles, known as ponding water, to gather in low spots. Click through to see how we fixed this problem for good!

The Teardown

The crew kicks things off by removing all of the old roofing. Underneath the old EDPM system is a layer of plywood called the sheathing. This is the structural foundation of the roof.

New Plywood Is Installed

As the structural foundation of the roof, the sheathing must be in tip-top shape. Any sections of the sheathing found with damage, like rot or mold, are removed and replaced with strong new CDX plywood to ensure a solid and flat base.

Keeping Count

Each new sheet of plywood is numbered for easy tracking so that the crew can accurately report back to the homeowner on exactly how many sheets were installed.

Insulation Is Installed

With all of the new sheathing securely nailed into place, the crew moves onto the next step: installing the VersiCore Tapered Polyiso insulation. This important layer regulates temperature, enhance energy efficiency, and prevents moisture damage.

EPDM Membrane Is Installed

The top layer of the roof, called the Versico VersiGard membrane, is firmly adhered on the top of the insulation, ensuring a watertight seal and a seamless finish.

Membrane Is Installed on the Perimeter Wall

The membrane is further extended up the side of the perimeter wall to ensure full protection from moisture damage.

Finishing the Parapet Wall

This short back wall is called the parapet wall. The crew performs the same process on the parapet wall as they do the roof, finishing it off with the installation of this aluminum drip edge.
