TPO Roofing

Maintenance

The Importance of Routine Maintenance

TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) roof maintenance primarily involves regular cleaning, debris removal, and inspections to identify and address any potential issues like damage or drainage problems. A well-maintained TPO roof can last for many years, potentially exceeding 20 years with proper care.

Regular Inspections

Frequency:
Schedule inspections at least four times a year, ideally in the spring and fall, and
other severe weather. Annual maintenance service options available.

Focus Areas:
we inspect for cracks, punctures, tears, and membrane shrinkage, especially around seams and flashings.

Cleaning and Debris removal

Schedule Regular Cleanings:
Establish a routine cleaning schedule to remove dirt, leaves, and other debris that can trap moisture and degrade the membrane.

Maintain Gutters and Downspouts:
Ensure your roofs drainage system is clear of blockages so water can flow freely.

Prevent Future Damage

Prevent Drainage Issues:
TPO roofs are often on flat surfaces so ensure proper drainage to prevent water and debris accumulation, which can lead to mold, algae, and damage.

Signs of Damage

Punctures, tears, cracks, blisters, and areas where water is pooling (ponding).

IF YOU SEE SIGNS OF DAMAGE IT'S IMPORTANT TO SCHEDULE A MAINTENANCE APPOINTMENT RIGHT AWAY.
