TPO / Flat Membrane Repair.

TPO (the flat, rubber-like sheet on a low-slope roof) leaks at the seams and edges far more than in the open middle.

Overview

TPO leaks at the seams and edges far more than in the open middle. A seam that’s come unstuck, a worn metal edge strip, or a failed rubber boot around a pipe is usually the culprit, and all of them are fixable.

We heat-weld seam repairs, re-coat the metal edge strips, replace the pipe clamps, repair the rubber boots around pipes, and patch punctures or tears in the roof surface. We probe the seams to find the failure and weld it watertight: a proper weld, not a smear of sealant.

We probe and inspect to locate the exact failure point, then document the repair with photos.

What’s included

How we find and fix the leak.


01

Seam probing & leak diagnosis

We probe the seams and inspect the full roof surface to locate the exact failure point before any repair begins.


02

Photo documentation

Every damage location is documented with photos, useful if it turns into an insurance claim.


03

Heat-weld seam repair

Failed or lifting seams are re-welded watertight: a proper weld, not a smear of sealant.


04

Roof-surface patching

Punctures and tears in the open middle of the roof surface are patched and heat-welded back into place.


05

Edge-strip recoat

Worn metal edge strips along the low wall around the roof are re-coated and re-secured to restore the seal around the roof’s edge.


06

Pipe-clamp replacement

Failed pipe clamps are replaced to close off leaks around pipes and fittings.


07

Pipe-boot repair

Failed rubber boots around pipes and vents are repaired or replaced, then welded back to the main roof surface.

Upgrade options

Proper weld, not sealant

Every seam repair is heat-welded (the same bond used to build the roof), not patched with sticky butyl tape or roofing cement that will fail again in a season.

Warranty

  • A repair is priced to fix the one issue: nothing more.
  • Want it backed by a warranty? Pair the repair with full maintenance and we’ll stand behind the work.

FAQ

Common questions.

Where do TPO roofs leak most often?
At the seams and edges, not in the open middle. A seam that’s come unstuck, a worn metal edge strip, or a failed rubber boot around a pipe is the culprit in the vast majority of cases.
Why heat-weld instead of sealant?
A heat weld fuses the roof surface back into a single bond, the same method used when the roof was built. Sealants and sticky butyl tape cover the problem; they don’t restore the roof surface. We weld so the repair holds.
Do you document the damage for insurance?
Yes. We locate the exact failure point and document it with photos before and after the repair, useful if the damage turns into an insurance claim.
Is there a plan that catches a seam before it opens up again?
Yes. A TPO seam that has come unstuck once is a candidate to open again nearby, and edge strips wear down on the same schedule. Paramount Care is our maintenance membership: an annual visit probes the seams and edges before the next one fails, and documents the roof for its manufacturer warranty.
