Roof Tarping in Cannon Falls
Temporary covering when the damage is overhead rather than at the wall.
Boards do not help a roof. Temporary covering keeps rain and snow out until permanent roof work is scheduled, and on an exposed valley property it has to be secured to survive the wind that opened the roof in the first place.
What this service covers
- Temporary covering of damaged roof sections
- Covering of openings cut during emergency ventilation
- Protection of areas where shingles, panels, or decking were lost
- Securing of the covering against wind uplift
- Coordination with interior water response where needed
Common warning signs
- Missing shingles, panels, or exposed decking
- Active drips or ceiling staining after rain
- A section cut into the roof during emergency response
- Tree or limb impact through the roof plane
Typical causes
- Straight-line wind and hail damage
- Falling trees and heavy limbs
- Emergency ventilation cuts during a fire
- Ice dam damage and deck deterioration
What to do first
- Do not go onto a damaged, steep, or wet roof
- Contain interior drips and move belongings clear
- Photograph the roof from the ground and the interior damage
- Send the request with the size and location of the opening
What a provider may assess
- Size, pitch, and location of the roof opening
