Water dripping from your ceiling light fixture?
Emergency roof repair in Hamilton, OH – what to do right now.
Water is dripping from a light fixture in your Hamilton home. You worry about a fire or mold. You do not know if you should cut the power or how to stop the water.
Water dripping from a light fixture means your roof is leaking into the electrical wiring. This is dangerous. Water and electricity can cause a fire. The leak may be right above the light. Or water might be traveling along a wire from a roof breach. Either way, the water must stop now.
The first step is an emergency tarp to stop the water. That same day, a crew covers the damaged roof area. Permanent repair happens later. The cost depends on what the inspection finds. A small patch may cost a few hundred dollars. If decking, wiring, or a larger roof section needs work, the price goes up. You need a pro to look inside the attic and on the roof to know for sure.
Turn off the electricity to that room at your breaker box. Place a bucket under the leak. Do not touch the light switch or any water. Then call TruRoof for emergency roof repair. We arrive fast, tarp the roof, and stop the dripping. After the roof is dry, we fix it for good.
Once the tarp is up, the water stops. The wiring is safe. Your home is dry. The permanent repair seals the roof. You can turn the power back on and forget this ever happened.
What people in Hamilton 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."
