Hannaford’s roof, a fully adhered EPDM membrane was installed over 20 years ago. An EPDM restoration of the field seams was completed approximately 15 years later, extending the roof’s service life another 8+ years. Hannaford was now looking at how to maintain this roof, since it was still performing very well, with no leaks and no issues. After consulting with IRC’s roof management services and John Massengill, they chose to restore the entire roof system, using Republic’s GEOGARD system.

IRC conducted a complete roof inspection and also a moisture survey to determine how much, if any, wet insulation was present in the roof system. The results showed minimal wet insulation, which was removed and replaced in kind.

The project began with power washing the entire roof. All field seams, roof edge flashings and penetration flashings were treated with PERMAFAB and the GEOGARD Base Coat, followed with the installation of GEOGARD Finish Coat over the entire roof: the Finish Coat was tinted tan (Maple Sugar). The result is a seamless, monolithic roof coating system with a 12-year warranty that should provide the owner with many years of trouble-free service.
