Water dripping from your ceiling light fixture? Don’t wait. Turn off the power now.
Same-day emergency roof repair for Batavia, OH homes. We stop the water before it gets worse.
You see water dripping from a ceiling light in your Batavia home. Your first thought is fire or mold. This happens fast after a storm rolls through Clermont County. You need someone here now to tarp the roof and stop the leak.
Water coming through a light fixture means water is pooling above your ceiling and following the wires down. That water hits your light’s electrical box. Even a small drip can cause a short or start a fire. The leak usually starts at a roof penetration, like a vent pipe or a cracked shingle. Rain from a heavy Ohio storm finds the weak spot and travels sideways before it drops through the fixture.
Fixing this takes two steps. First, a tarp goes over the damaged area the same day you call. That stops more water from coming in. The permanent repair comes next, after things dry out. The cost depends on how much decking and shingles need replacing. A simple patch might run a few hundred dollars. If water sat for a while, you might also need drywall or insulation work. Either way, you are not looking at a full roof replacement for one leak.
Right now, go to your breaker box and shut off power to that room. Place a bucket under the drip. Do not use the light switch. Do not touch the fixture. Then call TruRoof for emergency tarping. We serve Batavia and the State Route 32 corridor, and we can be at your door fast. The sooner the roof is covered, the less damage you face inside.
Once the tarp is up, the water stops. The light fixture dries out. The permanent fix goes on clean and tight. Your ceiling stays dry through the next storm. You go back to normal, without worrying every time it rains.
What people in Batavia say
"I'm reviewing my two new roofs, on my house and my garage, installed by TruRoof. The company, and Damon Chuke, their representative, helped me work with the insurance company, and with understanding all the details of the whole process. They took out an obsolete chimney, were on time and professional, and the finished roofs and flashing are beautiful. Many compliments from neighbors. Highly recommended by me."
"We have a beautiful condo in a historic building from the 1840s. Late November had a bad leak in the dining room area. I called Britt at TruRoof who came out and inspected the entire roof of the building. He said to do the entire roof could be around $50,000. But then he started laughing and said you need to caulk the area around one of the chimneys. I thought he was nuts, but I did the caulking, which cost me about 25 bucks worth of outdoor caulk, and there are no more leaks. I cannot express my appreciation for his diligence and his honesty. That kind of a company and a person is rare these days. Highly, highly, highly recommend these guys."
"TruRoof did an outstanding job from start to finish. Communication leading up to the start date was great. Once on site and the project started, everything went as discussed, and the crew was very professional."

how much does roof repair cost
Small repairs like replacing a few shingles or sealing flashing can cost $300 to $800. Bigger repairs with decking replacement run higher. Ask for a repair quote before committing to anything larger.
is a leaking roof an emergency
If water is actively coming in, it is an emergency. The longer it runs, the more it damages insulation, drywall, and framing. Call a roofer with 24/7 emergency service. They can tarp it the same day and do the permanent fix later.
