Small tear in TPO roof? Don't tape it.
A quick heat-weld repair from TruRoof, TPO and EPDM flat roofing in Amelia, OH, fixes it for good.
You were on your flat roof in Amelia, maybe checking the HVAC or clearing a gutter, and you found a small cut in the white membrane. No leaks inside yet. It's tempting to grab some tape and hope it holds.
That tear in your TPO membrane is small now, but it won't stay small. TPO is a plastic-like sheet made for Ohio sun and cold. A sharp stick, a fallen branch, or even foot traffic can start a rip. Tape won't hold. The glue breaks down in heat. When wind gusts hit your roof, like the storms that move through Amelia, it can peel the tear wide open. Water then gets under the membrane and soaks into the insulation layer. You might not see a leak inside until the decking rots. By then, the repair cost multiplies.
A true fix is a heat-weld patch. Your contractor cleans the area, cuts a new piece of TPO, and fuses it to the roof with hot air. The bond is as strong as the original. For a small tear, this job is under an hour. The cost depends on the tear size and location, but it's a fraction of what a full roof replacement would cost. Most fixes are simple, but if the tear is near a seam or edge, it may take a bit more work. Catching it early saves you from a bigger repair bill.
Call TruRoof today for a quick inspection. We serve Amelia and all of Clermont County. Our crew will come to your property, clean the site, and weld a permanent patch over the tear.

Once the patch is done, you'll have a watertight roof and no worries. The fix is invisible and strong. You can forget the tear ever happened and get back to business without a future emergency hanging over you.
What people in Amelia say
"I'm reviewing my two new roofs, on my house and my garage, installed by TruRoof. The company, and Damon Chuke, their representative, helped me work with the insurance company, and with understanding all the details of the whole process. They took out an obsolete chimney, were on time and professional, and the finished roofs and flashing are beautiful. Many compliments from neighbors. Highly recommended by me."
"We have a beautiful condo in a historic building from the 1840s. Late November had a bad leak in the dining room area. I called Britt at TruRoof who came out and inspected the entire roof of the building. He said to do the entire roof could be around $50,000. But then he started laughing and said you need to caulk the area around one of the chimneys. I thought he was nuts, but I did the caulking, which cost me about 25 bucks worth of outdoor caulk, and there are no more leaks. I cannot express my appreciation for his diligence and his honesty. That kind of a company and a person is rare these days. Highly, highly, highly recommend these guys."
"TruRoof did an outstanding job from start to finish. Communication leading up to the start date was great. Once on site and the project started, everything went as discussed, and the crew was very professional."
