Attic wet after heavy rain? Here's what to check.
Straightforward advice and free roof inspections for Wyoming, OH, from TruRoof.
You head up to the attic after a heavy Ohio storm and see a dark, damp patch on the plywood. It happens to homeowners across Wyoming, from Sharonville to the city center, when sudden downpours find a way in. You just need to know where to start.
That wet spot on the attic sheathing means water is getting past your shingles or flashing. It often happens after wind-driven rain pushes through tiny gaps. Water runs downhill from the entry point, so the leak may start higher on your roof. Common culprits are cracked pipe boots, missing shingles, or bad chimney flashing.
A free roof inspection is the smart first step. You pay nothing for us to come out, take photos, and give you a written estimate. If we find a problem, actual repair costs vary. A small shingle patch or flashing fix can run a few hundred dollars, while larger decking rot or a partial re-roof costs more. We never push you into work you don't need.
Mark the wet area with painter's tape right now. From the ground, scan the roof above it for obvious damage. Do not climb up yourself. Then call TruRoof to schedule a free inspection. We'll trace the leak back to the true entry point and show you exactly what we find.
Once it is fixed, you stop holding your breath every time it rains. Your attic stays dry, the decking stays solid, and you know your Wyoming home is protected.
What people in Wyoming 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."
