TPO Roof Repair
How to Repair a TPO Roof
The first step in repairing a TPO roof is having a professional assess the damage level. Then, they can help you choose one of the following options and complete the repair:
- Applying silicone membrane for minor damage: If the water damage is low, the leak may respond well to a silicone membrane. This type of repair can only occur with 25% saturation or less, so it requires a professional inspection to determine if this method will work.
- Making a patch for small perforations: TPO roofs are also heat-weldable, so you can make a metal patch for small repairs.
- Using a roof coating for total protection: A roof coating provides the most effective and efficient fix.
