Water dripping from your ceiling light fixture? Here's what to do.
Emergency roof repair in Fort Mitchell, KY. Water dripping from a light fixture? Call TruRoof now for same-day tarping.
A summer storm just hit Fort Mitchell, and now water is dripping from your ceiling light fixture. You worry about a fire or mold. The roof needs a tarp and a permanent fix soon.
Water coming through a ceiling light means a roof leak has reached the wiring above. Rain enters through damaged shingles or flashing, runs across the attic floor, and drips down around the light fixture hole. Left alone, it can cause a short circuit or even a fire. In Fort Mitchell, heavy summer storms often uncover these hidden leaks.
Emergency roof repair for a ceiling leak usually starts with tarping. A crew comes out the same day, covers the damaged area, and stops water from entering. The cost for tarping typically starts around $300. After the rain stops, the real repair can range from a few hundred dollars for a small patch to a couple thousand if large sections need replacing. The longer you wait, the worse the damage gets.
First, turn off the circuit breaker for that room right now. Place a bucket under the drip. Then call TruRoof for emergency roof repair. We serve Fort Mitchell 24/7, and we can send a crew to tarp your roof the same day. After the weather dries, we'll replace damaged shingles or flashing to stop the leak permanently.
Once the repair is done, your light fixture will be dry and safe. No more drips at night. No worry about fire. Your ceiling can be repaired, and your home is back to normal. You'll know the roof is sealed tight for the next storm.
What people in Fort Mitchell 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."
