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.
