Attic wet after rain? Don't ignore it.
A local roof inspection and free estimate from TruRoof, right here in Norwood, OH.
You climb into the attic after a heavy rain and see a dark, damp patch on the plywood. You don't know if it's old or new, and you can't tell where the water is getting in. Many Norwood homes, built in the early to mid-1900s, deal with this after a strong storm.
A wet spot on the attic ceiling or plywood means water is getting through your roof. Rain can enter through missing shingles, cracked flashing around chimneys, or a damaged pipe boot. Water often travels downhill, so the leak may start higher up on the roof slope. Even a small leak can rot the decking and lead to mold if left alone.
A roof inspection in Norwood typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. If the issue is minor, like a few missing shingles or a small flashing repair, the fix might cost a few hundred dollars. Bigger problems, such as widespread decking rot or a full roof replacement, can run into the thousands. The estimate you get will break down exactly what's needed so you can plan.
Mark the wet spot with painter's tape so you can check if it grows. Then call TruRoof for a free inspection. We'll take photos, trace the leak, and give you a written estimate with no obligation. Do not wait, because water damage only gets worse. A professional can spot entry points that aren't obvious from the ground.
After the fix, you'll have a dry attic, even during the next Norwood downpour. No more wondering if that stain is getting bigger. You'll know your roof is sound and your home is protected.
What people in Norwood 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."
