TPO and EPDM Roofing Maintenance Tips

TPO EPDM Roofing Commercial CT Roof

All surfaces insulated against water infiltrations have a warranty period, during which the manufacturer guarantees the safety of the products that are expected not to degrade. In addition, modern materials such as TPO and EPDM membranes for your commercial roofing CT choice are highly resistant and can provide good protection for several decades.

However, wear and tear are imminent. To protect the roof and make your initial investment as profitable as possible in the long run, it is essential to maintain it regularly.

As a building owner or manager, you must schedule annual roof checks performed by expert roofers. These will include checking the rainwater system for unclogging the drain holes in case of obturation or clogging, as well as cleaning and checking the condition of the covering membrane, especially in the area of the joints or where the membrane has been pierced for the installation of roof equipment (solar panels, air conditioning units, etc.).

Even if access to a flat roof is relatively easy, do not perform such work on your own because you may cause damage (mechanical, thermal, or chemical) to the waterproofing layer.

Avoid the circulation on the roof (unless it was designed as a circulating area), especially during the cold season, when you might be tempted to remove the snow or perform other maintenance operations; you risk damaging the membrane by the improper use of some cleaning tools, and microcracks may occur due to circulation on a surface that became rigid due to frost.
