Commercial roofing repair services restore the integrity and performance of your roof.

TPO: Thermoplastic Polyolefin
Businesses typically use TPO, or Thermoplastic Polyolefin, a roofing choice made from polymers and rubbers. Van Martin Roofing’s commercial roofing services include experience with TPO defects such as seam failures, pictures, tears, UV damage, shrinkage, peeling, or bubbling. Our detail-oriented technicians often inspect how these defects occur to minimize future problems. Flashing failures are another common reason for TPO repair work.
EPDM: Ethylene propylene diene monomer
Ethylene propylene diene monomer, or EPDM, is a typical roofing option for businesses with low-slope roofs. This durable synthetic rubber roofing membrane often presents a ponding water problem, which our technicians are familiar with. Ponding water can stem from an initial improper installation, so utilizing the expertise of a highly reputable roofing contractor like Van Martin Roofing is essential. Of course, other problematic issues, such as shrinkage, can lead to ponding, roof leaks, damage to flashings, punctures, and tears, which are other common repairs EPDM experiences.

Flat roofing can present unique challenges similar to built-up roofs, modified bitumen roofs, and PVC roofing. Nearly level, Van Martin Roofing’s commercial roofing services leverage the latest technology to repair the issues surrounding flat roofs. Ponding water can accelerate material deterioration and increase the risk of leaks. Another common repair issue we see is insufficient or defective drainage systems.
