Is a leaking roof an emergency right now?
Honest answers from TruRoof, emergency roof repair in Colerain Township, OH.
You’re in Colerain Township, and water is dripping through your ceiling after the latest storm. Many homes here were built in the 1970s and 1980s, and a sudden leak can spread fast through insulation and drywall. You’ve put a bucket under it, but you’re not sure if this can wait until morning.
Water coming through the ceiling means your roof has a breach. Even a small hole can let in gallons during a heavy Ohio rain. The water often travels along rafters, so the drip might be far from the actual leak. Once it soaks into drywall, it weakens the ceiling and can start mold within 24 hours.
The first step is an emergency tarp to stop the water. Same-day tarping usually runs between $300 and $600, depending on your roof’s pitch and how easy it is to reach. The permanent repair comes later, after a dry day. That cost varies: a simple shingle replacement might be a few hundred dollars, while rotted sheathing raises the price.
Call a 24/7 roofer now. Do not wait. Every hour the leak runs, the damage gets worse. TruRoof can have a crew at your Colerain Township home within 90 minutes to secure a heavy-duty tarp. That stops the water immediately. They’ll come back to do the permanent fix once the weather clears.
Once the tarp is in place, the water stops. You can take away the buckets and sleep without worry. The permanent repair restores your roof’s strength, and you’ll know your home is dry and safe again.
What people in Colerain Township 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."
