Water dripping from your ceiling light fixture right now?
Quick steps from TruRoof, 24/7 emergency roof repair in Union, KY.
You are standing in your Union living room, watching water drip from the light fixture. Your first thought is fire. Your second is mold. Older homes near Boone County Arboretum and new builds off US-42 both get this. You need to act fast.
Water finds the weakest spot in your ceiling. Often that is the hole cut for a light fixture. Rain slips through a roof leak, runs down a rafter, and drips right onto your wiring. This can cause a short. It can cause a fire. The water you see is just the end of a trail that starts up on your roof.
Most emergency tarp jobs in Boone County run a few hundred dollars. The number depends on roof height, pitch, and how big the damaged area is. After the storm passes, a permanent repair may replace shingles, underlayment, or decking. TruRoof checks the whole roof for hidden damage. That way you do not fix one leak just to find another next month.
First, go to your breaker box. Turn off power to that room. Then place a bucket under the drip. Do not poke the ceiling. Do not pull the fixture. Water may pool above and come down all at once. Next, call for emergency roof repair. TruRoof responds day or night in Union. We tarp the roof same day to stop water at the source.
When the work is done, your light works safely again. The ceiling is dry. The roof is sealed. You sleep through the next rainstorm without checking the fixture.
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."
Other things people in Union ask
what happens if a roof leak is left untreated
Untreated leaks rot decking, ruin insulation, and grow mold. The repair gets bigger every month you wait.
what to do if your roof is leaking and you can't afford to fix it
An emergency dry-in stops the water for a fraction of a full repair, and we walk you through insurance and financing options.
how much does roof repair cost
Small repairs like replacing a few shingles or sealing flashing can cost $300 to $800. Bigger repairs with decking replacement run higher. Ask for a repair quote before committing to anything larger.
is a leaking roof an emergency
If water is actively coming in, it is an emergency. The longer it runs, the more it damages insulation, drywall, and framing. Call a roofer with 24/7 emergency service. They can tarp it the same day and do the permanent fix later.
