Signs You Need Emergency Roof Tarping
» Missing or Torn Shingles After Storm
High Gulf Coast winds shear shingles from roof decks during hurricanes and severe weather. If you notice shingles in your yard or visible gaps in your roof, you need emergency tarping to prevent water intrusion.
» Water Stains on Ceilings During Rainfall
Ceiling stains, wet insulation, or dripping water indicate active roof leaks allowing storm water to enter your home. Emergency tarping stops water infiltration and prevents mold growth, electrical hazards, and structural damage.
» Visible Gaps or Sagging Roofline
Structural damage from fallen trees, wind impact, or compromised decking creates dangerous openings in your roof system. Sagging areas signal water-damaged or broken deck boards requiring immediate protection.
» Loose Flashing or Exposed Underlayment
Storm winds lift flashing around vents, chimneys, and roof edges, exposing vulnerable underlayment to direct water contact. Exposed felt or synthetic underlayment deteriorates rapidly under UV exposure and rain.
» Interior Drips or Puddles During Rain
Active water entry during storms indicates compromised waterproofing requiring immediate temporary protection. Water travels along rafters and beams before appearing inside, meaning the source is often far from visible damage.
Our Roof Tarping Process
Step 1: Immediate Response & Deployment
Our emergency team responds as quickly as possible, often within hours of your call, arriving equipped with heavy-duty tarps, fastening systems, fall protection gear, and safety equipment. We prioritize calls based on damage severity and weather conditions.
Step 2: On-Site Safety Assessment
Technicians evaluate roof damage extent, measure coverage areas, identify structural hazards, and establish safe access points. We assess interior damage to understand leak sources and prioritize protection areas.
Step 3: Debris Removal & Surface Preparation
We clear fallen branches, broken shingles, loose flashing, and storm debris to prepare secure attachment surfaces. Proper surface preparation ensures tight tarp adhesion and prevents wind lift.
Step 4: Professional Tarp Installation
We position and secure heavy-duty UV-resistant polyethylene tarps using reinforced grommets, wood battens, and corrosion-resistant fasteners. Tarps are pulled tight and anchored at multiple points to prevent water pooling and wind damage.
Step 5: Perimeter Sealing & Wind Protection
We seal all tarp edges using sandbags, anchor boards, and additional fastening to prevent wind uplift during subsequent storms. Every connection point is reinforced to ensure maximum protection.
Step 6: Insurance Documentation & Coordination
We document all damage with detailed photos, measurements, and condition reports for your insurance claim, including hail damage, wind damage, and water intrusion. We provide written documentation of emergency mitigation work and work directly with adjusters when needed to support your storm damage coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Tarping
We strive for same-day response, often within hours of your call, especially during active hurricane or tropical storm events in Tampa. Our crews remain on standby during peak storm season to provide rapid response throughout Hillsborough County. Call (813) 609-5596 for rapid emergency response.
Yes. Most Florida homeowner policies cover emergency mitigation like professional tarping as part of storm damage claims. We provide complete documentation including photos, measurements, and detailed reports needed to file your claim and work directly with adjusters to support your coverage.
We use heavy-duty, UV-resistant polyethylene tarps with reinforced grommets and professional fastening systems. Our tarps are specifically designed for roofing applications, providing superior wind resistance and waterproofing compared to consumer-grade tarps.
DIY tarping is dangerous and often ineffective. Untrained installation leads to improper sealing, wind damage, personal injury from falls, and potential insurance claim denial due to inadequate mitigation. Professional installation ensures proper protection and full insurance documentation. Call (813) 609-5596 for safe, effective emergency tarping.
No. Tarping is a temporary measure designed to stop active leaks and prevent further water damage until permanent repairs are approved and completed. Professional tarps typically provide protection for several weeks to months depending on weather conditions and tarp quality.
We prioritize emergency calls and maintain on-call crews throughout Tampa Bay for storm response. During hurricane season and severe weather events, we deploy as quickly as conditions safely allow, often achieving same-day response. Call (813) 609-5596 any time for emergency dispatch.
Professional tarps typically last 3-6 months depending on weather exposure, installation quality, and subsequent storm activity. We use heavy-duty materials and reinforced fastening to maximize lifespan, but tarps should be considered temporary protection until permanent repairs are completed.
We provide workmanship warranty on proper installation and fastening. However, tarps are temporary measures subject to weather damage, and we cannot guarantee indefinite protection. We'll assess and reinforce tarps as needed during the repair waiting period.
