Flat roof leaks hide: water travels between membrane and decking before it surfaces inside, often far from the entry point. Flat roof leak repair in Garland starts with moisture tracing, not guesswork.
STORM TRIAGE
What do you need help with right now?
Pick the door that matches your situation. It routes you to the right person on the team, and every path starts with a free, documented look at the roof.
Texas law requires homeowners to pay their insurance deductible.
Cedar Crest does not waive or absorb deductibles. If anyone offers to, walk away.
It puts your claim at risk and may be illegal. We document damage, provide estimates,
and meet your adjuster on-site to answer construction questions. We are not a public
adjuster and do not interpret your policy or negotiate claim value.
A flat roof leak rarely shows up directly under its source, because water travels across the deck before it finds a way down. So we trace it to the entry point first. Then the repair gets matched to the membrane: TPO, EPDM, PVC and mod-bit each repair differently, and Garland buildings run all of them. Our leak estimates are free and in writing, what we find is captured in photos, Texas law keeps us from ever waiving a deductible, and we do not work as public adjusters.
Tracking Down Flat Roof Leaks in Garland
Hail is a common starting point for flat roof leaks here. Since 2006, Garland has recorded 37 days of hail an inch or larger within 7 miles, and 12 days with golf-ball-size hail or bigger, topped by a 2.5-inch stone on June 2, 2017. Hail can fracture a membrane or crack a seam without leaving an obvious hole, and the leak may not appear until the next heavy rain.
Age compounds it. With a median year built of 1978 across the city, plenty of Garland roofs have been patched more than once, and older patches are frequent leak sources. We repair flat roof leaks throughout Dallas County, and the same crews serve Richardson and Murphy.

We don't waive deductibles; nobody legally can. Texas law requires
homeowners to pay their insurance deductible (Tex. Ins. Code ch. 707). If a roofer offers
to "cover" or "absorb" yours, walk away. It puts your claim at risk and may be a felony
for the contractor.
We document damage, provide repair and replacement estimates, and meet your
adjuster on-site to answer construction questions. We are not a public adjuster
and do not interpret your insurance policy or negotiate claim value on your behalf.
Common questions about flat roof leak repair in Garland
Why does my flat roof leak keep coming back?
Usually because the visible symptom got patched while the actual entry point kept feeding water into the assembly. Moisture tracing finds the source; that is the repair that lasts.
Can ponding water cause leaks?
Standing water accelerates membrane wear and finds every weakness. Persistent ponding is a drainage problem worth solving, not just a symptom to patch around.
Do you repair all flat roof types in Garland?
TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, and built-up systems, each with the repair method the system calls for.
Do mature trees around our Garland home affect the roof?
Constantly. Canopy debris loads gutters and valleys, branches abrade shingles in every wind event, and shade-side slopes hold moisture longer. Trimming to clearance and keeping drainage clear are the two cheapest roof-life extensions in established neighborhoods.
How often does hail hit Garland?

How old are most homes in Garland?
