Is a leaking roof an emergency? Here's what to do right now.
Honest answers for Mount Washington homeowners. Emergency roof repair from TruRoof, ready 24/7.
You're in your Mount Washington home. Water drips from the ceiling above you. You've put a bucket underneath, but you wonder: can this wait until morning? Storms hit Hamilton County fast, and even a small leak can spread through your attic and ruin drywall.
A leak that's dripping right now is an emergency. Water moves through your attic, soaking insulation and weakening drywall. Within hours, it can reach wiring or cause stains and sagging. Even a slow drip adds up. The longer you wait, the more damage builds behind the ceiling, where you can't see it. That means a bigger repair bill later.
Emergency roof repair usually starts with tarping the leak the same day. Our team can be at your Mount Washington home within hours. The cost depends on the size of the leak and the materials needed to cover it. A simple tarp job is often a few hundred dollars, but larger damage can be more. We'll give you a clear, upfront price before we start.
Call TruRoof at our 24/7 emergency line. While you wait, move valuables and place a bucket. Don't climb on the roof yourself, wet shingles are slick. Our crew will arrive quickly, tarp the leak, and stop water from entering. After everything dries, we'll arrange a permanent fix.
With the leak tarped, your Mount Washington home stays dry. No more buckets, no more stress. You can get back to normal while we schedule a permanent repair that fits your home. Your ceiling and insulation are safe.
What people in Mount Washington 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."
