The seams of TPO can be a vulnerability when installed improperly. For this TPO repair job, seams of the existing TPO were falling apart leaving the building vulnerable to the elements. Our team acted quickly to repair the seam and reseal the roofing system, protecting it until its next re-roof.
The Problem
Our client came to us with concerns about his large commercial roof which was leaking during storms. We checked to determine the cause and it became clear that TPO seams were separated and allowing water to penetrate. This sort of issue could cause bigger problems in the future, and quick action was required. Additionally, the seal around the roof drains looked worn, another problem that needed a quick solution.
Our Solution
Our estimator came up with two solutions: a complete TPO re-roof to eliminate the issue for years to come or an effective TPO repair that would hold off the elements until it was time to worry about a new roof. The client opted to go with the latter, a quick and effective solution to immediately stop leaking without the commitment of an entire new roof. Because the damage was not too serious, this option also made sense to our team. Using a durable silicone roof patch, our team resealed the 25ft seams that had come apart and the damaged area around the drains.
Materials
Our team used Gaco Roof to create a seamless membrane to seal and repair the existing roof, effectively protecting against leaks and solving our client’s roofing problem.
