Leaking Flat TPO Membrane Roof. Upon inspection of this old TPO flat roof membrane in Knoxville, Tennessee, I found several issues with maintenance and installation and some areas with leaks. The seams are falling in several places on the flat portion and the parapet walls. Replacement is recommended. However, repairs are possible.
