Atlanta TPO Roof Repair 

A TPO roof system in Atlanta can have a useful lifespan of 15-20+ years if properly maintained and repaired. Depending on the TPO membrane mil size thickness (45-120 mil.), will also determine how long the manufacturer will warranty their product against defects and repair services.

Single-Ply white UV reflective roofing systems have been known to save companies serious money on energy bills.  However, owners must remember schedule regular ongoing roof inspections and proper TPO roof repair maintenance every 2-5 years. UV rays and extreme weather conditions will cause roof damage overtime to regular wear and tear items on any type of commercial roof system. 

TPO, is constructed from an ethylene propylene rubber and is designed for performance and longevity. In addition, it’s also eco-friendly and rather easy to repair and maintain if properly trained. However, TPO membrane is also flexible and can tear, puncture and pull apart at the seams easily if not installed correctly.  

Excessive roof ponding and surface stains such as: algae, mold and mildew are signs that your roof is not draining properly.  You may also have clogged roof drains that will eventually result in expensive interior and exterior damages. Don’t wait for signs of water damage to show up, schedule a roof inspection appointment today!

TPO Roof Replacement 

If your existing TPO roof is between 15-20 years old, you may be better off with a TPO roof replacement. Repairing a roof past its usefully lifespan can be costly when it can be applied towards a new roof system.

New TPO roof membrane can be installed in a multitude of ways. Plus, with the introduction of peel-and-stick products, installation time can be reduced significantly.

Like PVC, TPO remains hot-air weldable throughout its service life, simplifying the roof installation process. Thus making it a popular choice for homeowners, contractors, and business owners alike.

TPO is the most commonly installed thermoplastic single-ply roofing membrane. According to SPRI, “Most thermoplastic membranes are manufactured to include a reinforcement layer, usually polyester or fiberglass, which provides increased strength and dimensional stability.

It’s important to contact a trained commercial roof inspector, if you suspect your roof may be failing due to old age.

TPO Roof Maintenance  

GA Roofing & Repair, Inc. has been offering TPO roof maintenance and repair services for over 12+ years. We’re the most popular Atlanta commercial roofing contractor because of our attention to detail and quality of service is second to none. Let our highly trained technicians examine your TPO roof for any maintenance or repair items. Don’t wait for costly interior water stains or water damage to show up. Make the call today and be proactive in maintaining your TPO roof system. 

Common roof maintenance items are loose seams or worn out sealants. These are a result of “Cold Welds” or “UV Ray” damages that begin to develop over time as the roof begins to contract and expand. Cold morning temperatures followed by heavy hot direct sunlight throughout the afternoon will cause a commercial flat roof system to breakdown. Lack of proper roof maintenance and repairs will lead to water penetration and eventual leaks just like a roof puncture.

TPO flat roof systems that aren’t properly maintained will cause costly interior water and mold damages. Insurance companies wont cover these types of claims if it’s due to poor workmanship or lack of maintenance repairs. Schedule a roof inspection and evaluation today.

TPO vs PVC Roofing

PVC membranes are manufactured from a combination of PVC resin, stabilizers, pigments, fillers, plasticizers, biocides, and various processing aids. Unlike TPO membranes, which require additives to increase fire resistance, PVC membranes are natural fire retardants.

While problems with PVC membranes back in the 1960’s may have colored some facilities professionals’ views on these thermoplastic roofs, the use of chemical plasticizers that evaporated (causing embrittlement and shrinkage) have long since been discontinued.

We find PVC roof membrane is very popular with the restaurant industry because of its resilience. It is 100% more resilient to grease stains and its ability not to fail vs TPO membrane.  With that added layer of  protection, PVC is generally more expensive than TPO.

The other popular thermoplastic membrane on the market today is TPO. “TPO polymers are blends or alloys of polypropylene plastic or polypropylene and ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) or ethylene propylene diene terpolymer rubber (EPDM),” SPRI reports.

TPO membrane is by far the most popular choice for commercial or residential flat roof systems. It’s very cost efficient and green energy star rated for long term savings and tax rebates. White UV ray reflectivity membrane is what makes this system very attractive for commercial properties in the South that battle high summer temperatures.

Depending on the overall size of the building, owners can expect to save $1,000’s of dollars potentially on energy bills alone. TPO membrane, we find, is generally easier to maintain and less expensive than PVC.

TPO is a better choice than PVC unless you are operating a restaurant in our professional opinion.
