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 Dallas starts with moisture tracing, not guesswork.

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,

Flat roof leaks in Dallas are hard to chase because water can travel across the deck before it shows up inside. We find the entry point first. Then the repair gets matched to the membrane: TPO, EPDM, PVC, and mod-bit each repair differently, and Dallas buildings run all of them.
The leak investigation is documented with photos, and the estimate is free and written. If insurance is involved, Texas law bars us from waiving a deductible, and we do not work as a public adjuster. Guessing at the source on a flat roof usually means chasing the same leak again later.
Hail, Age, and Flat Roof Leaks in Dallas
Hail is a frequent starting point for low-slope leaks here. The 13-mile area around Dallas has recorded 77 days of hail an inch or larger since 2006, and on 25 of those days the stones reached golf-ball size or more. On a membrane, a single impact can open a small fracture that keeps leaking long after the storm has passed.
Age compounds it. Only 14 percent of the city’s housing dates to 2010 or later, and older flat roofs often carry patches in several different materials, each needing its own repair method. Our flat roof crews work throughout Dallas County and also take leak calls in Highland Park and Balch Springs.

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 Dallas
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 Dallas?
TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, and built-up systems, each with the repair method the system calls for.
Does this work differ across Dallas neighborhoods?
Meaningfully. Deck age, prior re-roof quality, and permit specifics vary block to block in a city this varied. The written findings reflect your actual roof, not a citywide template.
