Roof Tarping
It can be a rude awakening when you come home from a long, hard day at the office only to find that the roof is leaking, and water is coming into your home or business property. This is something that nobody plans for, regardless of the age of the roof. Every homeowner thinks that even though the roof is guaranteed for 20 years, it will last a lifetime. Unfortunately, nothing is further from the truth.
There are plenty of variables and a plethora of things that can cause damage to your home’s roof. Just think about New Year’s Eve and the Fourth of July with those pretty fireworks your neighbors shoot off high in the sky. The hot embers and rocket debris do come back down to the earth. It is possible that they can land on your roof, and cause damage, or even a fire. This damage can cause your roof to leak because of damaged shingles.
Why It's Important To Tarp Your Roof?
After a storm you may find yourself with an open roof system due to tree or wind damage. The insurance company will ask you to make temporary repairs. What is the reason for this? The most obvious reason is to ….Stop the leak. Leaking water into your home can limit your rebuilding options when additional damage occurs. There are many other reasons as well.
The safety of your family is the main reason. The health of your family is at risk when water keeps entering and creates an environment where toxic mold spores can grow. Water entering electrical systems can cause fires.
