Small tear in your TPO roof? Don't tape it.
Professional heat-weld repair from TruRoof, your TPO and EPDM flat roofing team in Greendale, IN.
You were up on your Greendale commercial roof checking the HVAC. You spotted a small tear in the white TPO membrane. No water inside yet. You wonder if some roof tape will hold it until fall. It won't. Greendale storms and wind can peel that tear open overnight. And waiting could turn a quick fix into a full replacement.
A small tear in TPO roofing often starts from a dropped tool, a sharp branch, or foot traffic near rooftop units. Even a tear the size of a coin can let moisture seep into the insulation below. Once water gets in, it spreads. The membrane may look fine on top while the damage grows underneath. Heat-weld seams are the only lasting fix.
Repairing a small tear usually takes one visit. If the membrane is still in good shape and the insulation is dry, a technician can heat-weld a patch in under an hour. Cost depends on roof access and how many tears you have. A single small repair in Greendale often runs a few hundred dollars. Ignoring it can lead to replacing whole sections, which costs thousands.
Call TruRoof at the first sign of a tear. Do not use tape, caulk, or peel-and-stick patches. They fail fast. A professional heat-weld bonds the patch directly to the membrane, making it watertight for years. We serve Greendale businesses and respond quickly, 24/7, to stop small problems before they leak.
After a quick heat-weld repair, your roof is sealed tight. No water damage, no ruined insulation, no emergency calls. You go back to running your business, knowing your flat roof will hold through the next Greendale storm.
What people in Greendale 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."
