What callers askabout flat roofs
How much does it cost to fix a leak in a flat roof?
It depends on the roof. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso prices each flat roof repair after a free inspection, and the written estimate reaches you within 48 hours. The roof’s system and where the leak sits set the price.
Where do flat roofs leak most?
At the details. Flashing, drains, seams, penetrations, parapets, scuppers, and canales fail before the open field. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso quotes a repair for that spot when a repair will do.
Is it my roof or my swamp cooler?
It can be either. A swamp cooler’s rusted pan, overflow, or float valve can look exactly like a roof leak, so rule the cooler out first. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso inspects the roof for free.
Does homeowners insurance cover a flat roof leak?
Your policy decides. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso doesn’t need a claim to inspect your flat roof. If you file one, we document the damage and write the estimate, and your insurance company makes the call.

A flat roof leak is rarelyabove the stain
A ceiling stain doesn’t mark where water got in. Water runs sideways before it drops, and wind-driven monsoon rain can push the entry point away from the stain. Pick a spot to see how it fails.
Parapets
A parapet is the short wall around a flat roof, and it turns the roof into a basin. Masonry moves at a different rate from the membrane, so the flashing line at the wall takes the stress. Cracked parapet caps let water in too.
Scuppers and canales
A scupper is an opening through the parapet, and a canale is a wood or metal spout that throws water clear of the wall. When one clogs, water sits on the roof with no way off.
Seams
Seams are where the sheets of a flat roof join. Daily heat swings make those sheets expand and contract, which fatigues the seams and cracks the sealant along them.
Penetrations
A penetration is any pipe, vent, or curb that comes through the roof. Around a cooler or A/C curb, leaks tend to start at the flashing corners, the conduit and condensate lines, or where foot traffic during service has worn the roof.
Worn coatings and clogged parapet drains are common leak sources here too.

Tar and gravel, modified bitumen,TPO, or foam
Lifetime Roofing of El Paso repairs flat and low-slope roofs on homes and commercial properties. Each system is built differently, so the repair depends on which one you have.
- Tar and gravelAlso called built-up: plies of asphalt felt mopped with hot asphalt, with gravel on top.
- Modified bitumenFactory asphalt rolls with an added polymer, put down by torch, cold, or self-adhered.
- TPOA white heat-welded sheet. Aged TPO can turn brittle, and that limits how it can be repaired.
- FoamOne local roofing guide calls foam the most popular flat roof on El Paso homes.

Repair or full replacement:how we decide
Lifetime Roofing of El Paso quotes a repair when a repair will do. The system, where the leak sits, ponding, slope, and wet insulation decide between a repair and a new flat roof.
A repair can do when
- The leak sits at a detail, like a flashing, a seam, a drain, or a parapet.
- Water clears the roof within 48 hours of rain.
- The insulation around the leak is dry.
A patch won’t be enough when
- Water’s still there 48 hours after rain. A patch or coat doesn’t remove ponding; tapered insulation, crickets, or an added drain do.
- The roof has too little slope. Built-up roofs generally need at least 1/4 inch per foot.
- You have a roof with wet insulation.
The National Roofing Contractors Association defines ponding as water still on the roof more than 48 hours after rain. Water that’s gone sooner is accepted on a flat roof.
What El Paso, TXweather does to a flat roof
Sun and heat
Sun attacks the binders in asphalt and polymer roofing. Heat, more than sun alone, drives TPO aging.
Wind damage and dust
Blowing dust and pre-monsoon wind clog scuppers and parapet drains before the rain comes.
Monsoon
Monsoon storms can be short and intense. A flat roof is worth inspecting twice a year, before and after them.

What you getin writing
A flat roof repair comes with two papers: the written estimate before we start and the warranty paper at the end. Workmanship means how the repair was done, so that call comes to us.
The workmanship warranty is transferable, so it can go with the building if you sell.
Your flat roof repair
| Inspection | Free, insurance claim or not |
|---|---|
| Estimate | Free and written, within 48 hours of the inspection |
| Workmanship warranty | Lifetime and transferable, on the work |
| Maker’s warranty | Printed beside ours, on any new materials |
| If a leak comes back on our work | We come back and fix it at no charge |
| When you get the warranty paper | Handed over at the end of the job |
Tarping and inspections carry no warranty. On foam roofs and roof coatings, the lifetime warranty covers our workmanship, and recoating on schedule is normal upkeep the owner pays for.
More questions aboutflat roof repair
Will a roof coating stop my flat roof from leaking?
Not if water is ponding. A patch or coat doesn’t remove ponding, so ask what a coating will fix before you pay for one. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso’s written estimate reaches you within 48 hours of the inspection.
Why does my flat roof leak in heavy rain?
A detail has usually opened. Hard rain finds worn flashing, open seams, and clogged scuppers. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso inspects flat roofs for free, and the monsoon runs June 15 to Sept. 30.
What happens if a flat roof leak is left untreated?
It can become a bigger repair. Wet insulation changes the job, and water that stays past 48 hours can harm the roof. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso’s inspection is free, so checking a small leak costs nothing.
Can a handyman fix a flat roof?
Legally, yes. Texas has no state roofer license, so anyone can take the job. Ask who carries insurance: Lifetime Roofing of El Paso carries $1M general liability and $2M workers’ comp.
Can I pay for a flat roof repair over time?
Ask about financing. Financing is available from Lifetime Roofing of El Paso, and we offer a 5% military discount. Ask about both when you call (915) 353-3934.
Does a flat roof repair come with a warranty?
Yes. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso puts a lifetime transferable workmanship warranty on the work, printed beside the maker’s warranty on any new materials.
