When Emergency Tarping May Be Needed

Severe weather can cause different types of roof damage. Emergency tarping is often needed when you notice:

Fallen Tree or Large Branch

Fallen Tree or Large Branch

Trees or large limbs can damage shingles, flashing, and roof decking.

Missing or Torn Shingles

Missing or Torn Shingles

Wind can tear or lift shingles, leaving your roof vulnerable to water.

Exposed Roof Decking

Exposed Roof Decking

When underlayment and shingles are gone, the deck can quickly absorb water.

Active Water Intrusion

Signs of water inside your home indicate your roof may have an opening.

What Emergency Tarping Does

Emergency tarping helps protect your home from further damage while permanent repairs are planned and completed.

1

Covers Vulnerable Roof Areas

Tarping shields damaged sections from direct exposure to rain and debris.

2

Helps Reduce Additional Rain Entry

A properly installed tarp can limit further water intrusion into your home.

3

Provides Temporary Stabilization

Keeps damaged areas secure until permanent repairs can be completed.

4

Protects Exposed Decking and Openings

Helps cover exposed wood, underlayment, and roof penetrations.

5

Creates Time to Define Permanent Repairs

Gives you time to fully assess the damage and plan the right repair solution.

Emergency tarping is temporary protection—not a permanent roof repair.

Temporary Stabilization vs. Permanent Repair

Emergency tarping and permanent repairs serve different purposes. Here's how they compare:

Temporary Stabilization

  • Reduces immediate exposure to rain and debris
  • Secures vulnerable areas
  • Helps prevent additional water intrusion
  • Weather-dependent
  • Short-term measure until permanent repairs

Permanent Repair

  • Removes damaged materials
  • Restores roof components (shingles, underlayment, flashing)
  • Corrects details and sealing
  • Returns your roof to full service
  • Long-term solution for lasting protection

Documenting Storm Damage

We take detailed photos and notes of the damage we find. This documentation can help you communicate with your insurer about the condition of your roof.

Coverage decisions are made by your insurance carrier. We do not promise coverage or claim approval.

Protecting Your Home Until Help Arrives

Here are a few steps you can take while you wait for our assessment:

  • Stay off the roof.
  • Place containers under interior drips if safe.
  • Move valuables away from water.
  • Photograph interior damage.
  • Avoid electrical hazards.
  • Call emergency services for immediate life-safety hazards (such as downed power lines or severe structural damage).
