Factors Contributing to Roof Damage

Primary factors contributing to roof damage vary from environmental to man-made elements. As stated, weather events play a significant role, with wind, rain, hail, and snow all possessing the ability to inflict serious damage. However, less immediate factors can also contribute. Aging and general wear and tear can degrade roofing materials over time, leading to a point where a strong wind or a heavy rainfall can cause significant damage. Other factors include improper installation, low-quality materials, or lack of regular maintenance.

Regions Most Affected by Severe Weather Events

While every region has its unique weather challenges contributing to roof damage, areas most frequently affected by severe weather events necessitating emergency tarping include the coastal regions of the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, the central plains region, and parts of the Rocky Mountains due to their heavy snowfall.

Importance of Emergency Tarping for Property Owners

By understanding the concept of emergency tarping, property owners can better appreciate its importance in protecting their investment. It can make the difference between an inconvenient temporary problem and long-term, high-cost damage. Recognizing when emergency tarping is necessary, and acting quickly, can help homeowners safeguard their properties effectively.

Financial Implications of Ignoring Damaged Roofs

The cost of neglecting to tarp a damaged roof can be exponential, both financially and health-wise. The National Institute of Building Sciences reports that every dollar spent on hazard mitigation, including measures like emergency tarping, can save society six dollars in future disaster costs. Furthermore, as noted by Robert R. Solomon of the National Fire Protection Association, “An emergency tarp on a compromised roof…can be a lifesaver. By the time a roof starts leaking, there’s often a lot more damage than meets the eye.”

Our Process

Step-by-Step Emergency Roof Tarping

At Good Shepherd Roofing, our emergency roof tarping process begins with a thorough initial assessment. Our team will inspect the damage and determine the best course of action to secure your roof.

Damage Assessment:

Before any tarping can take place, a thorough assessment of the roof damage is essential. This involves determining the extent of the damage, the area that needs to be covered, and any structural weaknesses that might affect the tarping process. Roofers should consider the type of roof, whether flat or sloped, and the materials used, as these factors will affect the tarping process.

Choose the Right Tarp:

Tarps come in various sizes and materials. Polyethylene tarps are commonly used due to their durability and water resistance. The size of the tarp chosen should be sufficient to cover the damaged area with an overhang to secure it properly.

Preparation:

Once the tarp is chosen, it’s time to prepare the roof. Any debris on the roof should be cleared away, and any loose roofing material should be removed to ensure the tarp lies flat against the roof surface.

Tarp Placement:

Carefully roll out the tarp over the damaged area, ensuring that it extends over the roof peak and hangs evenly on both sides. This overhang is crucial to prevent water from seeping under the tarp.

Securing the Tarp:

There are different ways to secure a tarp, but commonly, 2x4s are used. Lay them across the tarp’s edge and secure them with roofing nails or screws. On the roof’s peak, secure the tarp with a strapping or batten down the center.

Final Inspection:

After the tarp is secured, a final inspection is done to ensure there are no loose ends that could allow water to seep in or the wind to blow the tarp off.

Pricing & Variables

In the aftermath of a widespread disaster such as a hurricane, demand for emergency tarping and other roofing services can spike, leading to potential price increases. Conversely, government programs may sometimes step in to regulate or subsidize costs in these situations.  Pricing for labor and materials can vary by region. Higher costs of living often correlate with higher labor costs, and availability of materials can also affect pricing. More severe damage may require more extensive work to secure a tarp, or possibly multiple tarps, further driving up costs.
