Water dripping from ceiling light fixture?
Water dripping from ceiling light? Roof repair help in Union, KY.
You see water dripping from your ceiling light fixture. You worry about a fire or mold. You are not sure if you should turn off the electricity or how to stop the water. In Union, KY, heavy rains and storms can expose hidden roof damage. Water finds its way into your attic and drips through your light fixture.
Water dripping from a light fixture means your roof is leaking. Rainwater gets in through missing shingles, cracked flashing, or worn pipe boots. It travels along the roof deck, rafters, or electrical wires. It can drip through a light fixture far from the actual leak. This is dangerous. Water and electricity can cause a fire or shock.
What this takes to fix depends on the damage. A small leak might only need a patch and new shingles. That can take a few hours and cost a few hundred dollars. Bigger leaks with rotted wood can take a day or more. If the roof is old, a full replacement might be needed. TruRoof will inspect your roof and give you a clear price before any work starts.
First, turn off the electricity to that room at the breaker box. Place a bucket under the leak. Then call TruRoof for emergency roof repair. We can tarp the damaged area to stop more water from coming in. Then we fix the roof permanently. Do not ignore the leak. It will only get worse and cause mold or rot.
Once the roof is fixed, the water stops. Your ceiling and light fixture dry out. You can turn the electricity back on safely. You have peace of mind knowing your roof is secure against 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."
Other things people in Union ask
can you repair just part of a roof
A partial repair is normal when the rest of the roof has life left. An honest inspection tells you which one you need.
missing shingles after storm
Do not climb on the roof. Take photos from the ground. Call a roofing company that handles storm damage. They will check for hidden damage and help you decide if you need a repair or a full replacement.
attic wet after rain
Mark the wet area with tape. Check the roof directly above it for missing shingles, cracked flashing, or a bad pipe boot. Water travels downhill, so the entry point may be higher than the stain. Get a pro to trace it before it rots the decking.
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.
