Small tear in TPO roof membrane?
A Hyde Park flat roof needs more than tape. Get a fast, permanent heat-weld fix from TruRoof.
You were up checking the HVAC on your Hyde Park commercial building and spotted it. A small tear in the white TPO membrane. No water inside yet, so maybe it can wait. But wind off I-71 can peel that slit open fast. One hard rain and the insulation underneath soaks through.
A tear like this starts small. A dropped tool, a sharp branch, or just years of sun near Wasson Road. The membrane pulls apart at the seam. Heat and cold make it move. What looks like a scratch today can open to a foot-long gash by next week.
Fixing this is not a big job. A professional heat-weld patch takes under an hour. The cost stays low because you caught it early. If water gets in, you pay for new insulation and deck repair. That turns a couple hundred dollars into a much bigger bill. The size of the tear and how easy it is to reach matter most.
Do not use tape or sealant from a hardware store. That peel-and-stick patch fails when the roof heats up. It traps water underneath. The only right fix is a hot-air weld that melts new membrane into the old one. Call TruRoof this week. We come out, clean the area, and fuse a permanent patch. No sales pitch, just a dry roof.
After the repair, the surface is smooth and sealed. The white roof reflects heat like it should. No water creeps under the seams. You go back to running your business. The roof goes back to doing its job.
What people in Hyde Park 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."
