Prevent further damage from compromised roof

When your property is affected by a roof leak or storm damage and you need a waterproof roof tarp. An emergency roof tarp has a temporary lifespan which should provide you with enough time to get more permanent roof repairs carried out, though certainly can be affected if an additional storm rolls through. Having an emergency roof tarp installed on your home can be extremely important in the wake of a major storm.

The tarp helps to prevent your home’s condition from deteriorating any further and preserves the option of rebuilding by helping to keep your repair costs from getting any higher. By quickly (and accurately) installing an emergency roof tarp after your home has sustained damage, you can potentially save yourself tens of thousands of dollars in interior damage to your home.

Failing to secure your home with a tarp after a storm can lead to water leaks and mold growth. Without protection, your roof is vulnerable to damage, increasing the risk of interior harm and health hazards. Swift action with emergency tarp services is essential to prevent these issues.

Roof Tarping Installation Steps

  • Assessment: Before installing the tarp, it's important to assess the damage and determine the size of the tarp needed to cover the damaged area adequately.
  • Safety Measures: Working on a roof can be dangerous, so it's important to take safety measures, such as using a ladder safely, wearing slip-resistant shoes, and using a safety harness if necessary.

  • Preparing the Tarp: Unfold the tarp and ensure it's large enough to cover the damaged area with extra space around the edges for securing it.
  • Positioning the Tarp: The tarp should be placed over the damaged area so that it extends beyond the damaged section on all sides. It's important to smooth out the tarp to prevent water from pooling.
  • Securing the Tarp: To secure the tarp, one can use wooden boards or strips nailed around the edges of the tarp to hold it in place. The boards should be nailed into the roof rafters, not just the sheathing, to ensure a secure hold. It's crucial to seal any seams or edges to prevent water from getting underneath the tarp.

  • Checking for Water Flow: After securing the tarp, it's important to ensure that water can run off the tarp and not pool on its surface, as standing water can cause further damage.
  • We provide a comprehensive report and a certificate upon completion of the service, outlining the procedures and outcomes. This detailed documentation is crucial for insurance claims, serving as a formal record of the restoration's thoroughness and compliance with industry standards
  • Scheduled ongoing check-ins to make sure there is no remaining damage

Frequently Asked Roof
Tarping
Questions

How long can a roof tarp last?

A roof tarp is designed to be a temporary measure, but the duration it can last depends on the material quality and environmental conditions. Generally, a tarp can last several weeks to a few months. It's important to schedule permanent repairs as soon as possible to avoid prolonged reliance on a tarp.

WeDry USA uses durable, 100% waterproof blue and grey tarps ranging from 6-12mm in thickness.

Why should homeowners use a restoration company for roof tarping instead of a roofer?

Restoration companies, like WeDry USA, specialize in emergency responses and are adept at handling urgent situations swiftly. They not only provide a comprehensive approach to protecting your home from further damage but also have the expertise to address additional issues like water damage or structural damages. Importantly, restoration companies often have the capability to directly bill insurance carriers, including the cost of roof tarping in your claim, which can streamline the process and reduce out-of-pocket expenses. This holistic and hassle-free approach makes them a preferred choice over traditional roofers.

Does roof tarping prevent all types of water damage?

While roof tarping significantly reduces the risk of water damage by blocking rain and debris, it's not a completely watertight solution. Some moisture may still infiltrate, especially during heavy storms. It's intended to minimize, not eliminate, water damage risk until repairs are completed. Use certified professionals to install your roof tarp propertly.

What if my roof tarp wears off; can it be replaced?

Absolutely. If your roof tarp shows signs of wear or damage, WeDry USA will conduct a thorough inspection and replace it as necessary. Our commitment is to maintain the integrity of your temporary roof protection until permanent repairs can be made, ensuring continuous protection of your property.
