THE SERVICE GROUP · COMMERCIAL & MULTIFAMILY ROOFING
Learn what to document when a commercial TPO roof leaks, what an inspection may review, and how to prepare a repair or maintenance request.
Tell us about your propertyRecord the building, room, unit, or tenant space where water appears. Note when it was first observed, whether it returns during similar weather, and whether work recently occurred near rooftop equipment. Interior water can travel before it becomes visible, so the ceiling location is useful evidence but not proof of the roof-level source.
A light-colored single-ply membrane is not automatically TPO. Check roof drawings, warranty documents, installation records, or previous repair reports before labeling the system. If the system is unknown, say so in the request. An inspection can begin without guessing the membrane type or manufacturer.
A manufacturer inspection checklist for TPO systems directs attention to the perimeter, field seams, curbs, penetrations, drains, scuppers, securement, terminations, flashings, and the general roof field. That does not mean every leak comes from one of these locations. It provides a disciplined way to record what was observed and mark deficiencies on a roof plan.
TPO repairs can involve cleaning and preparing the existing membrane, compatible membrane or accessories, and heat-welded or manufacturer-approved details. The correct materials and procedure depend on the membrane, its condition, the detail being repaired, and any warranty requirements. General-purpose caulk is not a substitute for identifying the system and agreeing on a repair scope.
An isolated puncture, seam concern, flashing detail, drain condition, or penetration may lead to a focused repair scope. Repeated leaks, widespread damage, trapped moisture concerns, deteriorated insulation, or uncertainty about the source may require broader investigation. A visual inspection alone does not establish the full condition of concealed materials.
Keep the roof manufacturer, warranty contact, repair history, and available photos with the property record. Before work begins, review whether the warranty requires an authorized applicator, specific materials, notice to the manufacturer, or documentation after completion. Do not assume that a repair or coating will preserve, restore, or void a warranty without checking its actual terms.
Provide the property address, affected interior location, roof system and manufacturer if known, previous repair information, access requirements, and the person who can authorize the next step. Mention available photos, drawings, reports, and warranty documents. The Service Group uses the request to establish coverage, scope, access, and availability before a visit or work is arranged.
Always check the current manufacturer documents and the warranty terms for your specific roof.
No. Several roof systems can have a light-colored surface. Use project records or an appropriate inspection to identify the system rather than relying on color alone.
Not reliably. The interior location helps organize the investigation, but water can travel through roof assemblies and building components before it becomes visible.
Avoid an improvised repair when the membrane, source, compatible materials, or warranty requirements are uncertain. Keep people away from unsafe areas and arrange an appropriate inspection and repair scope.
That depends on the roof condition, moisture findings, adhesion and preparation requirements, warranty considerations, and the proposed coating system. Start with an evaluation rather than assuming a coating is suitable.
