Water dripping from your ceiling light fixture?
Turn off the breaker. Then call TruRoof for emergency roof repair in Lebanon, OH.
You’re in Lebanon, Ohio, and water is dripping from a ceiling light fixture. You see the water, you worry about a fire or mold, and you don’t know what to do first. This is a real emergency — water and wiring are a dangerous mix, and the roof leak won’t stop until it’s fixed.
Water dripping from a light fixture means water is pooling in your ceiling. It usually comes from a roof leak — maybe a missing shingle, cracked flashing, or a torn pipe boot. Rain or melting snow enters the roof, runs along the rafters, and then drips through the electrical box. This is a fire hazard. Turn off power to that room at the breaker right away.
The cost depends on how much water got in and how long the leak has been going. A temporary tarp and emergency patch to stop water from entering usually costs a few hundred dollars. A permanent fix — replacing shingles, flashing, or rotted decking — can run from $500 to $2,000. If water has soaked into drywall or insulation, those repairs add to the total. The sooner you act, the less damage and lower the cost.
First, turn off the electricity. Then place a bucket under the leak and call TruRoof for emergency roof repair in Lebanon. We’ll come out fast, put a tarp over the damaged area, and stop water from getting inside. After the storm passes, we’ll inspect the roof and give you a clear plan for the permanent fix. Do not try to climb onto a wet roof yourself. Do not wait — water keeps spreading and can cause mold in as little as 24 hours.
Once the leak is fixed, your ceiling will dry out. The light fixture will be safe to use again. You’ll know the roof is sound and won’t leak when the next rain comes. No more buckets in the living room, no more worrying about a fire. Just a dry, safe home in Lebanon.
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."
Other things people in Lebanon 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.
