Emergency tarp service in Tarpon Springs, FL

Roof damage in Tarpon Springs

Tarpon Springs has steep, older roofs on Victorian-era homes around Spring Bayou and newer roofs inland. Historic roofs need careful covering.

Tarpon Springs sits on the Anclote River and the Gulf, so surge and river flooding affect waterfront areas and the Sponge Docks, and hurricane wind affects the whole city.

Working with your insurer in Tarpon Springs

We document the roof damage before and after the tarp goes on, and any water damage inside. Coverage depends on your policy. We are not a public adjuster.

From the roof to the rooms below

1. Document the damage with photos before the tarp goes on.
2. Cover the damaged area with a heavy tarp that extends past the damage.
3. Board up any broken windows or doors at the same visit.
4. Dry the ceilings, walls, and floors that took water through the roof.
5. Leave you a record of what was covered and why.

Tarpon Springs housing at a glance

The median home in Tarpon Springs was built around 1984 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey); roofs on homes of that age have often been replaced or patched at least once, and older decking can be weaker under a tarp. The Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey puts Tarpon Springs at about 25,355 residents. Location: roughly 28 miles north of St. Petersburg in Pinellas County. About 12% of units are in buildings with 10 or more units, so flat and low-slope roofs on larger buildings need a different cover than a house.

Before the tarp goes on

• 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.
