Found a wet spot in your attic after heavy rain? Do this now.
Honest answers from TruRoof, roof repair in Loveland, OH.
It stormed last night. You climb into the attic and see a dark patch on the plywood. You don't know if it's old or new, or where the water came from. This is a common problem in Loveland, especially after heavy spring rains.
A wet spot on attic plywood is a roof leak. Water can travel along rafters, so the entry point may be uphill from the stain. Missing shingles, cracked flashing around chimneys or vents, or a bad pipe boot are common culprits.
Fixing a single leak might cost between a few hundred and a thousand dollars, depending on what is damaged. If the decking is rotten, the job gets bigger. Most repairs take a day or less.
Mark the wet area with tape so you can watch if it grows. Check the roof from outside if you can do it safely. Then call TruRoof for a free inspection. We will find the leak and fix it before the next storm.
When it is done, your attic stays dry. No more worrying every time it rains. You can go back to enjoying your home and the trails along the Little Miami River.
What people in Loveland 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."
