Storms can cause significant damage to roofs, especially those made of TPO (Thermo-Plastic Olefin) roofs. TPO roofs are known for their energy-saving properties, durability, and ease of maintenance, but even these robust roofing materials are not immune to the effects of severe weather conditions like hail and wind.
When hail falls on a TPO roof, it can cause dents, punctures, and tears that can compromise the integrity of the roofing material. The extent of the damage will depend on the size of the hail stones and the strength of the roof. If the hail is large enough, it can even penetrate the roof, leading to water leaks in the building.
High winds can cause the roofing material to become loose or lifted, which creates gaps for water to enter the building. In extreme cases, wind can even rip TPO roofing off of the building, leaving the structure exposed to the elements.
To minimize the impact of storm damage, it’s crucial to have a well-installed TPO roof that can withstand strong winds and hail. A professional roofing contractor like Centennial Roofing can install TPO roofs to ensure they are securely fastened and the seams are properly sealed. Regular inspections and maintenance can also help detect any potential issues before they become serious problems and extend the life of your roof.
In the event of storm damage, it’s important to have your TPO roof inspected and repaired as soon as possible. Centennial Roofing can assess the damage and determine the best course of action, which may include repairing any holes or tears or replacing sections of the roof.
TPO roofs are a popular choice for their energy-saving properties, durability, and ease of maintenance, but they are not immune to storm damage from hail and wind so it is important to have a local and trusted roofing expert in your corner as you make decisions on the best course of action.
