If you have a rubber or TPO roof sealing is a waste of time and money. Ever see an office building roof sealed? I think not and its the same material. Cleaners and sealants are all hype and will do NOTHING to extend the roof life....and in many cases shorten it. The more you wash it the more rubber you remove on an EPDM membrane
I've seen some bad advice on this forum but this takes the cake. You should inspect and reseal your seams on a TPO roof at least once a year if you want to prevent leaks. The caulk on the seams can dry and come loose. Matter of fact most manufacturers won't cover an issue if this maintenance is not done. It's not a waste of time I assure you. And it doesn't matter what roof material you have, they all have seams. Dicor is what I use and seems to be pretty standard.
yep, I used to have an office on an upper story of a building that had a membrane roofed unit next door. periodically they would be on that roof, slopping something on it. don't know how they got the 14 ft jon boat up there however. :)
