Benefits of Tarping a Leaking Roof
Tarping your leaking roof is a necessary temporary fix that prevents further water damage to your home, mitigating mold and mildew growth and preserving the integrity of your house until permanent repairs can be made. Since a small leak can quickly escalate into a major issue, acting quickly protects your property and belongings.
Prevent extensive water damage
A heavy-duty waterproof tarp serves as a critical barrier, redirecting rain and snow away from the damaged area. If water continues to leak, it can cause significant, expensive damage to your ceiling, walls, and insulation.
​
Protect your home's interior
A leaking roof threatens your possessions and furnishings inside the house. Tarping helps keep your valuable items safe from water damage while you wait for repairs.
Reduce the risk of mold and mildew
Moisture from a leak creates a perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew, which can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours. These growths can spread quickly, impacting your home's air quality and posing health risks, especially to people with allergies or asthma. Tarping keeps the area dry and helps prevent the growth of hazardous mold.
​
Preserve your home's structural integrity
Water can travel through your attic, rotting the wooden rafters and ceiling joists. This compromises the stability of your roof and the overall structure of your home. A tarp protects these essential structural components until they can be properly repaired.
​
Avoid additional costs
The cost of repairing or replacing drywall, insulation, and electrical systems damaged by a persistent leak can be far higher than the cost of a temporary tarping. By tarping your roof immediately, you can limit the scope of the damage and avoid more expensive repairs down the line.
​
Many homeowners' insurance policies require you to take "reasonable steps" to mitigate damage after an incident, like a storm. Tarping your roof promptly demonstrates to your insurance company that you are being proactive, which helps ensure a smoother claims process.
​
Buy time for professional repairs
After severe weather, roofing contractors can be booked for weeks or months. A properly installed tarp gives you the time to thoroughly evaluate your repair options, find a reputable contractor, and avoid rushing into a decision.
