Attic wet after rain? Here's what to do.
A free roof inspection and written estimate in Harrison, OH. TruRoof finds the source of the leak so it doesn't get worse.
You go up to your attic after a Harrison thunderstorm and see a dark wet patch on the wood. You don't know if it's an old stain or a fresh leak, or where the water is getting in. Many homes in Harrison were built decades ago, and worn flashing or missing shingles can let rain sneak through.
That damp spot on the plywood means water is finding a way in. The real entry point is often higher up the roof because water runs downhill. A torn shingle, cracked flashing around a vent pipe, or a failed rubber boot can all be the culprit. Even a small gap can let in enough water to soak the attic insulation and wood.
A small leak might only need a shingle replaced or some sealant applied, which can cost a few hundred dollars. If the decking underneath is soft or rotted, the repair gets bigger. The only way to know is to have a pro look. A free roof inspection gives you a written estimate with clear photos, so you see exactly what needs fixing and what it will cost.
Mark the wet area with painter's tape so you can track if it grows. Then check the roof from the ground with binoculars if you can. Do not climb onto a wet or steep roof. Call TruRoof for a free roof inspection. We will trace the leak back to its source and explain every step before any work begins.
After the repair, your attic stays dry no matter how hard it rains in Hamilton County. No more stains spreading, no more musty smell, and no more worrying every time dark clouds roll in over I-74. You can put the storage boxes back and forget about it.
What people in Harrison 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."
