Water dripping from your ceiling light fixture?
Water coming through a light fixture is a roof leak. Call a Kenwood, OH roofer now. TruRoof responds 24/7.
You're standing in your Kenwood living room, watching water drip from the ceiling light. It's scary. You wonder if the electricity is safe and how much damage is happening inside the ceiling. This is a roof leak that found its way to the fixture. It needs attention right now.
Water dripping from a light fixture means your roof has a leak. Water enters through a broken shingle or damaged flashing. It travels down the attic and follows the electrical wires to the light box. This is dangerous because water and electricity can start a fire. Even a slow drip can cause mold inside the ceiling.
The fix usually takes two steps. First, an emergency tarp stops more water from getting in. Then, the roof gets a permanent repair. Cost depends on what is damaged. Simple shingle replacement might cost a few hundred dollars. If roof decking is rotted, the job is larger and costs more. A straightforward leak repair often falls between $300 and $1,500, but it can be higher if water has been sitting a long time.
What to do right now. Turn off the circuit breaker for that room. Place a bucket under the drip. Do not touch the light switch or try to remove the fixture. Then call TruRoof for emergency roof repair in Kenwood. We tarp the roof the same day so no more water gets in. We schedule the full repair as soon as it is safe to work.
After the permanent repair, your ceiling will dry out. Any wet insulation is replaced. The light fixture will work again without danger. You can stop worrying every time it rains in Kenwood. Your home is safe.
What people in Kenwood 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."
Other things people in Kenwood ask
can you repair just part of a roof
A partial repair is normal when the rest of the roof has life left. An honest inspection tells you which one you need.
missing shingles after storm
Do not climb on the roof. Take photos from the ground. Call a roofing company that handles storm damage. They will check for hidden damage and help you decide if you need a repair or a full replacement.
attic wet after rain
Mark the wet area with tape. Check the roof directly above it for missing shingles, cracked flashing, or a bad pipe boot. Water travels downhill, so the entry point may be higher than the stain. Get a pro to trace it before it rots the decking.
how much does roof repair cost
Small repairs like replacing a few shingles or sealing flashing can cost $300 to $800. Bigger repairs with decking replacement run higher. Ask for a repair quote before committing to anything larger.
