dicore rubber roof
About a mouth ago I went up on my roof and found a stinking film and little bubbles the look like pimples all over the roof. They admitted that it was a defect and offered me two choices
The EPDM roof is a thin 2 ply rubber membrane. Carlisle Syntec manufactures the membrane roof, Dicor administers the warranty.
What you are seeing is the aesthetic layer breaking down, The underside black layer of membrane is still intact and won't leak, as long as you keep up with your sealants.
Carlisle’s warranty covers premature deterioration to the point of failure due to weathering for 12 years. This is not a recall but they also know this should not have happened, so they have a couple of offers.
Warranty Years 1-5, if the aesthetic layer is gummy the manufacturer will pay a portion of the labor and all of the materials.
Warranty Years 6-12 the materials are prorated and there is no allowance for labor. Your unit falls into the years 1-5 so they are offering you two options.
Option 1. A onetime $1,000.00 payment for the depreciation of the roof and you leave it as is. The rest of your 12 year warranty stays intact on the membrane and the roof won’t leak as long as you maintain the sealants.
Option 2. A onetime $2,750.00 payment towards the cost of a new roof installation, plus at no charge Dicor will send you a new EPDM rubber roof and install kit. Color and length of your choice.
The check can be sent to either you or the installer/dealer.
Once the new membrane is installed you will have a new 12 year warranty beginning on the date the new roof is installed.This dose not come near covering the cost to fix the roof
