Water dripping from your ceiling light fixture? Here's what to do.
Immediate help from TruRoof, emergency roof repair in Mount Washington, OH.
You see water dripping from a ceiling light fixture in your Mount Washington home. It is scary. You think about fire, mold, and a ruined ceiling. You do not know if you should turn off the power or how to stop the water. A storm just passed, or maybe it is an old leak. Water and electricity do not mix. You need a roofer to stop the leak now.
Water from a light fixture means water is pooling in your ceiling. It comes from a roof leak. Rain finds a hole or missing shingle. Water travels along beams and drips out at the light. This can short the wires, start a fire, or damage the fixture. You have to act fast.
A tarp over the roof leak can cost a few hundred dollars. The permanent fix depends on the damage. A small patch may be a few hundred more. If the leak is big or the roof is old, the repair could be larger. TruRoof gives a clear quote before any work starts. No surprises.
Do not use the light switch. Turn off the breaker to that room. Put a bucket under the drip. Then call TruRoof for emergency roof repair. We will send someone to tarp the roof and stop the leak. After that, we schedule a permanent fix. We are here 24/7 for Mount Washington.
Once the tarp is on, the dripping stops. Your ceiling dries out. We come back to fix the roof and any inside damage. You can sleep easy knowing your home is safe and dry.
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."
