🧼 Grease Can Destroy Your TPO Roof: Here’s How to Stop It Before It Spreads

If you manage a restaurant, commercial kitchen, or any facility with rooftop grease vents, your TPO roof might be in serious trouble—and you may not even know it.

At BTXteriors LLC, we’ve seen firsthand how rooftop grease traps fail or overflow, silently degrading commercial roofing systems until leaks, soft spots, and expensive damage appear.

⚠️ What Is Grease Damage on a TPO Roof?

TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) is a common flat roofing material known for its durability. But when exposed to animal fats and oils from restaurant exhaust systems, the membrane can break down chemically—leading to:

  • Softening or bubbling in the membrane
  • Seam separation or weld failure
  • Leaks and interior water damage
  • Early roof failure and insurance headaches
