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.
