After severe storms, wind damage, or fallen debris, parts of a roofing system can become exposed and allow water to enter the home. In situations like this, temporary protection may be needed to prevent further damage until permanent repairs can be completed.
Emergency roof tarping provides a temporary barrier that helps protect the roof structure and interior of the home from additional water intrusion.
At DTM Builds, emergency tarping is used as a protective measure to stabilize the roof while the condition of the system is properly evaluated and the appropriate repair or replacement plan is determined.

When Emergency Roof Tarping May Be Necessary
Emergency tarping is typically used when part of the roof becomes exposed after severe weather or sudden damage.
Situations that may require temporary roof protection include:
Missing shingles or roofing materials after high winds
Hail damage creating exposed areas of the roof
Fallen branches or debris damaging the roofing system
Storm damage causing visible openings in the roof
Water actively entering the home during storms
Temporary tarping helps prevent further water intrusion while the roof is inspected and permanent repairs are planned.
Emergency roof tarping focuses on protecting the exposed area of the roof until proper repairs can be completed.
How Emergency Roof Protection Is Installed
Initial Roof Evaluation
We inspect the damaged area to determine how the roof system was affected.
Damage Area Assessment
The exposed section of the roof is evaluated to determine the safest way to secure it.
Securing the Damaged Area
A protective tarp is installed over the exposed section of the roof to create a temporary barrier.
Stabilizing the Roofing System
The tarp is secured to prevent wind from lifting it and to minimize further damage.
Temporary Water Protection
The goal is to block rain and debris from entering the home until permanent repairs can be completed.
Planning the Permanent Repair
Once the roof is stabilized, we evaluate what repairs or replacement may be required.
