Bruised Single-Ply
- You See
- Soft dark spots that give under a thumb on TPO or EPDM.
- What It Means
- The membrane is fractured below the surface and will crack open as it ages and freezes.


As a Superior commercial roof repair contractor, we inspect roofs after hail and wind, then repair bruised membrane, cracked washers, and dented panels.

Storm Inspections
Superior commercial roof repair often starts the week after a storm, when nothing leaks yet. Hail bruises single-ply membrane, cracks the washers under metal roof screws, and dents panels around fasteners. Those spots tend to open weeks later, after a freeze or the next heavy rain.
A walk right after the storm finds the damage while it is still small. Hail marks get photographed against a scale, soft metal such as vents and gutters gets checked for dents, and bruised membrane gets a moisture reading.
Storm Damage
Storm damage looks different on every roof part. These six show up most after a hail or wind event.

Why It Matters
Catching storm damage before it leaks keeps the repair small and the paperwork clean.
Services
Three services cover most storm repairs on Superior shops, offices, and storage buildings.

Bruised or punctured single-ply and built-up roofs get matched patches after a moisture check.
Flat roof repair
Hail-split washers and dented laps on metal buildings get new fasteners and fresh lap sealant.
Metal roof repair
Stains that appear after a storm get traced to the opening before anything is patched.
Leak repairWater coming in now needs a call. Photograph the stain and the hail if you can, and we will start with a temporary seal.

Schedule Free InspectionStorm Repair Steps
Five decisions take a storm-hit roof from a walk-through to a closed repair file.
Hail marks get photographed against a scale, soft metal gets checked for dents, and fastener rows get checked for split washers. Inside, any new stain is matched to the roof above it.
Granule loss and dented vent caps can be cosmetic. Fractured membrane, split washers, and cracked flashing let water in, so those go on the repair list.
Bruised spots in flexible membrane get patches and split washers get new fasteners. Wet board found under the damage turns a patch into a section repair.
Storm repairs get pushed ahead of the first hard freeze, since ice widens every hail crack left open over the winter.
You get dated photos, the repair list, and notes on what was fixed, kept together for an adjuster, a lender, or your own records.

Call UsSuperior FAQ
Get the roof inspected even if nothing leaks yet. Hail bruises membrane, cracks sealant, and dents metal around fasteners, and those spots often leak weeks later. Photograph the hail size and any stains inside, then let the inspection document the damage and list repairs before water reaches the insulation.
The number of damaged spots and what sits under them. A few split washers and bruised patches are small work. Peeled edges, cracked skylights, or wet insulation found under the hail damage add material and labor. The inspection prices each item, so you can see which ones drive the total.
Call (402) 833-7506 with the building address. We take storm repair work in Superior, and the first step is an inspection with photos and moisture readings. From there you get a written list of repairs to approve.
Yes. On metal, hail dents panels and splits the washers under screws, so leaks show along fastener rows. On single-ply or built-up roofs, it fractures the membrane and sometimes the cover board, which shows as soft bruises. Both get checked for moisture before repairs.
Leaving it over winter is risky. Water that gets into a hail crack freezes and widens it, so a small repair in the fall can become a wet section by spring. If the weather is too cold for a permanent repair, a temporary seal holds until it warms up.
Send the address and the storm date. We will inspect the roof, document what the hail did, and list the repairs.
