Small tear in your TPO roof membrane?
A small tear can spread fast. Get it heat-welded right by TPO and EPDM flat roofing pros in Mount Washington, OH.
You were on the roof of your Mount Washington building, checking the HVAC, and there it was. A small tear in the TPO membrane. No water inside yet. You’re thinking a strip of tape might buy you time. But Mount Washington winters bring freeze-thaw cycles that can split that tear wide open.
A tear in TPO is like a hole in a boat. It lets water into the insulation layer. Over time, that insulation gets heavy, moldy, and loses its R-value. In Mount Washington, with our freeze-thaw cycles, trapped water expands and makes the tear bigger. Wind can catch the loose edge and peel the membrane back in a storm.
For a small tear, a repair is usually a few hundred dollars. It’s fast work, often under two hours. The technician cuts back the damaged area, then heat-welds a matching TPO patch. This fuses the materials at the molecular level, so the seam is stronger than the original. The alternative—replacing waterlogged insulation—can run into the thousands.
If you’re in Mount Washington, don’t wait. Call TruRoof. We work on flat roofs across the neighborhood and Hamilton County. We’ll inspect the tear and the surrounding seams. If it’s a clean cut, a heat-weld repair takes under an hour. Often we can do it the same day. No tape, no temporary fixes. Just a permanent seal that handles Ohio weather.
Once repaired, the roof is watertight again. The welded patch blends in, so you won’t see it. Your insulation stays dry, your energy bills stay steady. No more checking the ceiling after a storm. You can get back to business in Mount Washington without that nagging worry.
What people in Mount Washington 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."
