I had a contractor replace my old epdm roof with a gaf tpo roof.
Tpo roofing lifting bubbling.
Roof bubbling is just what it sounds like spots where the rubber has lifted off the surface of the roof and formed a bubble or blister.
The day they came to install it started raining in the afternoon.
Temperature was around 60 degrees.

They said they finished the install before it started raining.
This area can fill up with air or water to form a blister which looks like a bubble on your roof.
Expanding trapped air within the roof structure this type of bubbling lifting can occurr on warm deck roof designs where the epdm membrane is fully bonded onto either a timber deck or directly onto the insulation.
If left untreated a blister can grow larger and allow more moisture to get in so that the problem gets worse until more extensive repairs and possible replacement.
The most common cause of roof bubbling is poor installation of the roof.
The rv manufacturer simply didn t apply the adhesive evenly or left some dirt on the roof that the adhesive couldn t stick to.
