Using Peel and Seal to repair your EPDM mobile home roof the right way



For the low-slope EPDM roof of most mobile homes, the best way to repair damage or a leak is with the Peel and Seal self-stick laminatesystem. It’s really the only material you need when you’re repairing your roof and it can be used to do everything from sealing flashing around the edge of the roof to using a narrower role of it to seal your gutters. Peel and Seal is by far the easiest material to use when repairing your mobile home roof.

The best place to find Peel and Seal is at MobileHomePartsStore.com. They carry it in narrow widths of 4 and 6in for use in sealing seams, repairing small holes or tears, or even sealing around vent pipes or flashing. There is also the 12 and 18in width rolls for larger repairs, or you can step up to the full-width 36in wide roll that is perfect for major repairs or for fully sealing your low-slope roof. However, no matter the size of roll that you use, installation remains as easy as ever.

There are only a few items you need when installing Peel and Seal. First, you need Weatherbond primer, a mop to spread it, a utility knife for cutting space for vents, and a seam roller to make sure the edges are sealed and that no wind or water can get under your roof’s new skin. The Peel and Seal material doesn’t just repair and seal your roof, though. It also exceeds the EPA Energy Star guidelines for roofing material. It has an aluminum surface, which comes in either natural finish or with a white coating that reflects the harsh sun away from your roof and helps your home stay more comfortable and energy-efficient. It keeps the drips out while it saves you money on heating and cooling!

The ease of Peel and Seal doesn’t mean that the first time a storm comes along it’s going to blow right off, though. Peel and Seal has been laboratory wind-tunnel tested in conditions that simulate 100mph winds with 8in of rain per hour. They’re so confident in the system that all Peel and Seal products carry a 10yr manufacturer’s warranty.

If you’ve got a pesky leak on your mobile home’s roof, it’s never been easier to seal it up. Use Peal and Seal and save yourself some money!
