Protecting your TPO roof during a storm is vital to maintain its lifespan and the integrity of the entire building. TPO membranes are very resistant but not infallible, so it is best to know how to avoid storm damage.

Prevention through preparation

No matter where your commercial property is located, you may need to protect your flat TPO roof from wind, rain, snow, or ice damage, as these may happen during a storm. Here are three ways to get ready for the worst.

Make a contract for regular maintenance with a professional roofing company and ensure it provides emergency services. When your flat roof leaks water into your inventory and equipment, it is quite challenging to focus on finding a roofing expert, so you should be proactive and make these arrangements early.

Get regular inspections from a Connecticut commercial roofing specialist to check for roof damage – scheduling annual inspections is not such a considerable effort, especially since it will pay off! Ensuring that professional roofers regularly inspect your roof is the best way to discover minor problems and vulnerabilities and fix them before they become worse and much more expensive to repair.

Eliminate hazards – Overhanging tree branches, weak membrane segments, and improperly secured equipment accessories on the roof  (e.g., satellite dish antennas, HVAC systems, solar panels) can create blunt hazards on flat roofs during a storm, so make sure to deal with them in time.
