Why Placida roofs need a fast tarp

Fallen oaks and palms are a common reason for a tarp in Placida. After the limb is off the roof, we cover the hole, secure the edges against wind, and extract water that came through.

Hurricane wind and summer thunderstorms reach every street in Placida. We board up broken openings, tarp damaged roofs, extract water, and dry the structure. Roof repairs go to a licensed roofer.

Before the tarp goes on

  • Stay off the roof. Wet and damaged roofs are dangerous.
  • If a ceiling is sagging with water, stay out from under it.
  • Photograph the damage from the ground and inside.

What emergency tarping includes

  1. Photograph the roof damage before it is covered, for your insurer.
  2. Lay a heavy-duty tarp well past the edges of the damaged section.
  3. Fasten and weight the tarp so it holds in wind.
  4. Extract water that came in and set drying equipment in the rooms below.
  5. Give you photos and a written record to hand your roofer and your insurer.
