South Pasadena emergency roof tarps

Tarping after storms in South Pasadena

Roofs in South Pasadena take hurricane and thunderstorm wind. Lifted shingles, cracked tiles, and fallen limbs open the attic to rain; we cover the damage, fasten the tarp, and dry what already got wet.

Storm calls in South Pasadena mix wind-driven rain through windows and roofs with high water from canals, bays, or rivers. Board-up comes first, then extraction and structural drying.

Working with your insurer in South Pasadena

Most policies expect you to prevent further damage after a loss, and an emergency tarp does exactly that. We document the tarp and the damage for your insurer. You keep the claim.

While you wait

• Do not climb on a wet or damaged roof yourself.
• Catch drips and move furniture and electronics out of the way.
• Keep everyone away from bulging or sagging ceilings.

South Pasadena: local context

Roughly 15% of housing units are held for seasonal or recreational use; a manager or neighbor is often the one who calls for a tarp. Median year built: 1979. That matters because roofs on homes of that age have often been replaced or patched at least once, and older decking can be weaker under a tarp. About 44% of occupied homes are rented, so landlords, tenants, and managers often share the call and the paperwork. The median age in South Pasadena is about 69 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey). We can send photos and paperwork to a family member or manager who helps with the claim.

Our tarping process

1. Photograph the roof damage before it is covered, for your insurer.
2. Cover the damaged area with a heavy tarp that extends past the damage.
3. Secure the tarp with battens and fasteners so it stays put in the next blow.
4. Dry the ceilings, walls, and floors that took water through the roof.
5. Leave you a record of what was covered and why.
