Attic wet after rain?
Free roof inspection and estimate from TruRoof, serving White Oak, OH. Let's find that leak.
You climb into the attic after a heavy rain and find a dark, wet stain on the plywood. In White Oak, where many homes were built in the 1950s and 60s, aging shingles and flashing often let water in during storms. You need to know if it's an old leak or a new problem before the wood rots.
That dark stain on your attic plywood means water is getting past your roof. Water travels along rafters, so the leak may be higher than the stain. Common entry points are cracked pipe boots, missing shingles, or rusted flashing around chimneys and vents. Even a small gap can let in a lot of water during a heavy downpour.
A roof inspection with photos and a written estimate is free. The repair cost depends on what we find. A simple fix like sealing a pipe boot might cost a few hundred dollars. If the plywood is soft and needs replacing, it could be more. We'll walk you through the options so you can decide what fits your budget.
Start by marking the wet area with tape so you can track it. Then call TruRoof for a free roof inspection. We'll check the attic, examine the roof from above, and take photos. You'll get a written estimate with no obligation. Don't wait, moisture trapped in the attic can rot the decking and cause mold.
Once the leak is fixed, your attic stays dry even in heavy rain. You'll have peace of mind knowing the roof is sound. No more worries about stains spreading or wood rotting. Just a safe, dry home.
What people in White Oak 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."
