What are the benefits of tarping a home’s storm damaged roof?
Tarping a damaged roof can offer several benefits, especially in the short term, to prevent further damage. Here are some key advantages:
- Protecting your Building from Water Damage: The primary benefit of tarping a roof is to prevent rainwater or snow from entering the home. This helps protect the interior of the house, including ceilings, walls, insulation, and flooring, from water damage that could lead to mold growth, rotting wood, and other long-term issues.
- Prevents Further Structural Damage: If a roof is damaged, such as by storm, hail, or fallen debris, a tarp can help reduce the risk of the underlying structure being exposed to the elements, which could weaken it further. The tarp acts as a temporary barrier.
- Reduces Risk of Mold and Mildew: Keeping water from getting inside your home helps reduce the likelihood of mold and mildew growth, which can lead to serious health issues and require expensive remediation.
- Can Buy you Time for Roof Repair or Replacement: Tarps provide an opportunity to delay immediate repair work while you wait for a professional roofer to assess and fix the damage. It acts as a temporary solution until more permanent repairs can be made.
- Minimizes Insurance Issues: If you have roof damage due to a storm or accident, tarping the roof may demonstrate to your insurance company that you took reasonable steps to prevent further damage. This could be important when filing an insurance claim.
- Cost-Effective: Tarping your building’s roof is a relatively inexpensive way to mitigate the damage before a full repair. It’s much cheaper than extensive water damage repairs or replacing damaged insulation and drywall.
- Quick and Easy to Implement: A tarp can be quickly applied by homeowners or contractors, and it doesn’t require a lot of tools or time to set up, making it a convenient first step in managing roof damage.
