Checkout the latest video from Palmetto Roofers on TPO Installation. Here's the transcript from the video:
0:00 Hey, what's up guys? This TJ with Palmetto Roofers. Today we're in Inman, South Carolina, doing a TPO replacement roof. Just a quick fix, kind of coming in behind and trying to get the building owner a good, dry roof as quick and efficiently as we possibly can.
0:29 You can see it already has a TPO roof on it. That was probably installed 15, 16 years ago. It didn't last the full lifetime. They did some things that we wouldn't recommend doing. For instance, the scupper right here behind me, they actually had a welded seam right in the center of it and a dip before you get to the scupper. So the water that's supposed to be running through the scupper into the gutters and draining off the roof was ponding about 11 inches deep into a valley that they created because they didn't attach their insulation board the correct way. So we've tore that section up. We're going to run a continuous piece of TPO right in the middle so that there's no seam in the scupper. That should prevent future water penetration causing those leaks down the road for the customer.
1:19 There were a couple other things. You can see some of the coping metal behind me here, or actually over here, grinding off some of the fasteners into some of these chimneys. These older chimneys they capped this one, but over here, there's like four or five that weren't capped. They're inoperable. They haven't been used in 100 years. I'm not 100% certain why they didn't cap them all, but they didn't. So there was water coming in through the chimney and the mortar was just basically sand at this point. So you could just pick the bricks up and move them. So the water was just seeping straight through, getting under the liner, under the TPO. We had several pieces of insulation board that are completely saturated with water. So we're just going to fix this up.
2:05 So again, it's very important that not only do you use a quality roof application like the TPO, but that you get somebody who's going to install it for you the right way and stand behind their work with a workmanship, craftsmanship guarantee. And that's what we bring to you here at Palmetto Roofers.
