Attic wet after a storm? Here's what to do.
You found a wet spot in the attic. Get a free roof inspection and estimate in Liberty Township, OH.
After a heavy rain, you climb into the attic and see a dark, damp patch on the plywood. It’s a common story in Liberty Township, especially in neighborhoods like Stonehenge or Trails of Four Bridges. You don’t know if it’s new or old, or where the water is getting in.
That wet spot on the attic sheathing is a sign of a roof leak. Water often travels downhill from the real entry point, so the stain may be lower than the hole. The cause could be a missing shingle, cracked flashing around a pipe or chimney, or a worn-out rubber boot. Even a small gap can let in gallons over time.
A small leak might only need a shingle replaced and some sealant, costing a few hundred dollars. A larger fix, like replacing flashing or a section of decking, can run more. The final price depends on what the inspection finds. A free inspection is the only way to know for sure.
Mark the wet area with tape so you can find it again. Then check the roof above it from the ground, looking for missing shingles or lifted edges. Do not walk on a wet roof. Call TruRoof for a free inspection. We take photos and give you a written estimate before any work starts.
Once the leak is fixed, your attic stays dry. The plywood dries out, and you stop worrying every time it rains. You’ll know your roof is tight and your home is protected.
What people in Liberty Township 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."
