Is a leaking roof an emergency?
Straight answers for Union homeowners from TruRoof, your local emergency roof repair team.
You live in Union, KY, and water is dripping through your ceiling right now. You've got a bucket under it, but you're watching the stain spread wider. You need to know if this can wait until morning—or if you should call someone tonight.
Water coming through your ceiling means your roof's protective layer has failed. A missing shingle, cracked flashing, or storm damage can open a gap. In Union, spring downpours and winter freeze-thaw cycles turn small openings into active leaks fast. The water you see is just the start. It soaks into insulation, rots wood framing, and can grow mold within a day.
What you pay depends on the leak's size and your roof's pitch. A simple tarp on a single-story home costs less than a steep, multi-story repair. Most emergency jobs get tarped the same day to stop the damage immediately. TruRoof gives you a clear price after a quick inspection, before any work begins.
Call TruRoof's 24/7 emergency line now. We'll send a crew to tarp the damaged area and stop the leak, usually within hours. While you wait, move valuables away from the drip and keep the bucket in place. Do not climb onto your roof—it's slippery and dangerous. Acting fast prevents a small leak from becoming a big repair.
Once the tarp is on, the water stops. Your home is safe from further damage. You can relax. Then we schedule the permanent fix at your convenience, so your roof is ready for the next Union storm.
What people in Union 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."
