Low-Slope Commercial Roofing: EPDM, PVC, and TPO Webinar Recording

Single-ply roofing materials, including polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO), continue to be among the most-used materials for low-slope commercial roofs. Because of their prevalence, adjusters need to know how weather-related perils, such as wind and hail, can impact these materials and another popular roofing option, ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM), to ensure claims are resolved accurately.

When you watch the Low-Slope Commercial Roofing: EPDM, PVC, and TPO Webinar recording, you’ll learn key facts about these roofing materials and how they might appear in property claims. Alpine Intel Customer Education Director Jay Dykstra also:

• Explores installation methods for EPDM, PVC, and TPO roof membranes while detailing the pros and cons of each type
• Explains common deficiencies for these low-slope commercial roofing materials, such as installation issues and lap failures, shrinkage, and wear and tear
• Discusses how to determine if hail or wind damaged these commercial roof materials or if impacts were caused by something else

He then shares case studies to put the information taught throughout the session into practice.

The webinar is hosted by Donan Engineering and BSC Forensics, each specializing in forensic engineering and part of the Alpine Intel suite of services.
