Small tear in TPO roof membrane?
Fast, permanent repair from local flat roofing pros in Burlington, KY. Don't wait for a small rip to become a big leak.
You were up on your Burlington roof and spotted a small tear in the white TPO membrane. No water inside yet, but you know how fast Kentucky weather can turn. A tiny split near the I-71 side of town or out by Gunpowder Creek Nature Park can let moisture in and ruin the insulation underneath.
That tear you see is a weak spot. TPO can rip from wind, falling branches, or just age. Once the top layer splits, water gets under the membrane. It soaks the insulation board. Then the roof deck can rot. A small tear grows fast when wind catches the edge and peels it back like a sticker.
Fixing this right means a heat-weld patch. The area is cleaned and a matching TPO patch is welded on with hot air. It bonds into one solid sheet. Cost depends on tear size and roof access. A single small repair often runs a few hundred dollars. If you wait and the deck gets wet, you could face a full section replacement costing thousands.
Do not use tape or caulk. Those peel off under Kentucky sun and rain. Call TruRoof for a quick inspection. We can heat-weld that tear on the spot, usually in under an hour. We serve commercial roofs all over Boone County, from Burlington Commons to Florence.
After the repair, your roof is solid and watertight again. No patched look, no future leak risk from that spot. You get back to your day knowing a small problem did not become a big bill.
What people in Burlington 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."
