Attic wet after rain? Here's what to do.
Get a free roof inspection and estimate in Lebanon, OH from a local roofer who finds the real leak source.
You go up to the attic after a storm and see a dark wet spot on the plywood. You don't know if it's old or new. You don't know where the water is getting in. In Lebanon, OH, heavy rain can expose hidden roof problems in older homes and newer builds alike.
A wet spot on your attic plywood after heavy rain means water is getting through your roof. It could be a missing shingle, cracked flashing around a chimney or vent, or a worn rubber boot on a pipe. Water travels downhill, so the stain may be lower than the entry point. Mark the spot with tape so you can show a pro.
A roof inspection to find the leak usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour. The repair cost depends on what's damaged. A simple shingle replacement or pipe boot fix might be a couple hundred dollars. If the leak has been ongoing and the decking is rotted, the repair is bigger and more expensive. A free estimate from TruRoof gives you the exact scope and price before you decide.
Don't ignore the stain. Unchecked attic moisture leads to mold and rotted wood. Call TruRoof this week to schedule a free roof inspection. We'll come to your Lebanon, OH home, find the leak source, and give you a written estimate with photos. You can also take a flashlight and look for daylight coming through the roof boards, but don't walk on a wet roof yourself.
Once the leak is fixed, your attic stays dry during the next storm. No more worrying every time it rains. You'll have peace of mind knowing your roof is sealed and your home is protected.
What people in Lebanon 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."
