I recently had a front porch built and this included a membrane roof. They put down squares of a foam mat and then layed out membrane over that and secured it along edges with a type of channel that then had plastic or pvc cap placed over it to hide screws. When i walked out in the yard and looked it seemed there were bumps in the roof. When i climbed up to check it they were a few raised places like air pockets. Is this normal with this type installation and material or was it installed wrong?

I did read your page with interest, especially since I’d heard of some product
that was supposed to be better than EPDM membrane. No name was given
at the time. Perhaps the product is like yours. Are there any installers in
north-eastern Indiana?
(Incidentally, when you type up a page, be sure to use “Spell-check” in your
computer, or a dictionary, and have someone else proof-read your page.
You may avoid “type-Os”, misspelled or misapplied words, and unclear or
clumsy sentences. The image of the professionalism of your organization
can then underline the quality of your products and services. Some school
teacher could help. I am not free of such errors either. I’d misspelled -
incidentally! A later “reread” of your page can bring corrections and an
improved rewritten text.)
Once again, is your product available in Indiana (Wabash county area).
(Perhaps in Ft. Wayne, or Kokomo, or Marion?) Thank You
