        Answer This Question

        A:  It will work on flat roofs but I'd not recommend using it for a long time. Most flat roofs are epdm and not sure that salt is best for a rubber.

        by|Jan 12, 2023

          A:  Roofmelt does not work on flat roofs as it doesn't have anywhere to drain off. It needs a slight pitch so it can drain safely off the roof.

            A:  I don’t have one but I would think so.  It’s like salt on your driveway.  But then do you have proper drainage systems for the water

                      A:  This product uses Calcium Chloride to de-ice, which is similar to pet/plant and vegetation friendly sidewalk salt. So I would assume this is safe for rubber roofs. I would check the product packaging for more details.

                        A:  These tablets are safe for use on all roofs. Best if you can use a ladder and place them as strategically as possible. The tossing method is hit or miss. I hope this helps you
