When you’ve experienced storm damage and shingles are missing or part of your roof is exposed, the next rain can find its way inside long before a permanent repair is ready.
At Georgia Water & Fire Restoration, our roof tarping service provides temporary protection when waiting isn’t an option. We’re available 24/7 throughout Metro Atlanta for emergency roof tarping and board-up, so you can protect your home before the weather takes a second shot at it.
An emergency roof tarp temporarily covers openings or damaged sections of your roof to keep rain and debris out until permanent repairs can begin. Depending on the damage, our emergency response can include:
Roof tarping covers damaged sections overhead wherever there is a risk of rain and debris entering through the roof. Board-up, on the other hand, secures broken windows, damaged doors, or exposed sections of the structure.
In some cases, you only need one of these services. Other times, you need both. If a tree damages the roof and takes out a window on the way down, we’ll tarp the roof and board up the window in the same visit.
High winds can pull away roofing materials, while hail and flying debris can leave behind punctures or other vulnerable spots.
Flames and firefighting efforts can damage sections of the roof and require temporary protection during restoration.
A direct hit can punch through the roof and reach the structure underneath.
A partial collapse or major opening may require temporary cover while the permanent fix is worked out.
If damage to the property compromises the roof or creates another exposed opening, tarping or board-up can help secure it until repairs are made.
A hole overhead can turn into wet drywall downstairs. A broken window gives rain another way in. Acting quickly with emergency board-up services minimizes the extent of repairs.
Water coming through the roof can reach insulation, drywall, and framing. A tarp helps cut off the source while repairs are being made.
Your insurance company may expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent additional damage after a covered loss. Getting the roof covered shows you didn’t simply leave it exposed to the elements.
Photos of the damage and work performed provide a record of what happened and what was done to fix it.
Once rain gets through the roof, it can soak into insulation, drywall, and other materials, giving you an unnecessarily large mess to deal with. In some cases, mold will begin to grow if the space isn’t properly dried within 24 to 48 hours.
We’re available 24/7 for homeowners and businesses throughout Atlanta and the surrounding metro area, including Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, Kennesaw, and Cumming.
When Atlanta’s severe storms, strong winds, or hail leave part of your roof exposed, you can’t afford to spend the next hour figuring out who covers your ZIP code. Give us a call, and we’ll confirm service for your area.
Call our 24/7 emergency line or fill out our form. Tell us where you are and what happened, and we’ll take it from there.
We’ll assess the damage and determine what needs covering or securing. We’ll document our findings and walk you through it before work begins.
We install the emergency roof tarp and board up your property based on the extent and type of damage. If there’s debris in the way, we’ll clean it up.
We document the mitigation work as we go, giving you a record of the damage and the steps taken to protect your property.
Once the openings are covered, we’ll provide documentation to support your insurance claim and perform all necessary storm restoration services identified during our initial assessment.
Here’s why Atlanta has counted on Georgia Water & Fire Restoration for professional roof tarping service for over 35 years:
It depends on the size of the damaged area, roof access, and whether board-up is needed too. Call us, and we’ll inspect your property and provide a cost estimate.
We’re available 24/7 throughout Metro Atlanta. Timing varies, especially after a major storm, so call us, and we’ll get a team over to your property as soon as possible.
Possibly. Coverage depends on your policy and what caused the damage. We can provide documentation from our work, but your insurance policy ultimately determines what’s covered.
Yes. If the storm damaged more than just the roof, tell us when you call. We handle emergency tarping and board-up.
We serve Atlanta and surrounding communities, including Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, Kennesaw, and Cumming. If you’re unsure whether or not your property is in our service area, give us your ZIP code, and we’ll confirm availability.
Reimbursement depends on your insurer and policy. DIY tarping carries risks: improper installation can void coverage if the tarp fails, working on a damaged wet roof creates fall hazards, and insurers may scrutinize an inadequate installation. A professionally installed tarp with documented photos better supports your claim and keeps your property secure.
If your property has been damaged in a storm, take quick action to minimize its impact. Georgia Water & Fire is available 24/7 for emergency roof tarping service and board-up throughout Atlanta, Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, Kennesaw, Cumming, and the surrounding metro area.
