Water dripping from your ceiling light fixture?
Water in your light fixture? You need emergency roof repair in Hyde Park, OH. TruRoof can help.
You’re in your Hyde Park home, and water is dripping from the light fixture. Heavy rain on these old roofs often causes it. You worry about a fire or mold. You don’t know if you should cut the power or how to stop it.
Water dripping from a light fixture means your roof has a leak. The water gets into the attic or ceiling. It then travels along the easiest path. Often that path is along electrical wires or the fixture box. This is a serious danger. Water and electricity can cause a short, a spark, or a fire. Mold can start growing in as little as 24 hours. Many homes in Hyde Park were built in the early 20th century. Their older roofs can spring leaks during a downpour. You need to act fast.
The cost to fix this depends on the size of the roof leak. An emergency tarp to stop water right now often runs a few hundred dollars. The permanent repair might cost more. It depends on how many shingles are damaged or if the wood decking underneath is rotted. If the leak is small and caught early, the fix is simpler. If water has been coming in for a while, there may be more damage. We always give a clear price before any work begins. No surprises.
First, turn off the power to that room at your breaker box. Place a bucket under the drip to catch water. Do not touch the light switch or the fixture. Water and electricity are a deadly mix. Then call TruRoof for emergency roof repair. We will come to your Hyde Park home right away. We tarp the roof to stop the water the same day. After that, we will schedule a time for the permanent repair. Your safety is the top priority.
Once the leak is stopped, your ceiling dries out. The danger is gone. You can turn the power back on without fear. Your home is safe from fire and mold. A proper roof repair means this will not happen again. You can get back to your normal life in Hyde Park, with peace of mind.
What people in Hyde Park 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."
