Why Professional Emergency Tarping Matters
The Critical Importance of Immediate Roof Tarping
Water damage from compromised roofing systems can cause exponentially more damage than the original storm damage itself. Within hours of storm damage, water can penetrate interior walls, damage electrical systems, ruin flooring and furniture, and create ideal conditions for dangerous mold growth. Professional emergency tarping creates an immediate weather barrier that prevents these secondary damages, often saving property owners tens of thousands of dollars in additional restoration costs.
