FAQs
Why is emergency roof tarping necessary after a storm in Clinton?
Tarping provides an immediate, temporary barrier that prevents rain, wind, and debris from entering your home after shingles, flashing, or decking have been damaged. In Clinton’s humid climate, even brief exposure can lead to water intrusion, mold growth, and structural deterioration. A properly secured tarp buys you time to schedule permanent repairs and keeps your interior and belongings safe.
How soon can your team arrive to install an emergency tarp in Clinton?
We maintain on-call crews 24/7 and can usually arrive anywhere in Clinton within 1–2 hours of your call, weather and road conditions permitting. Our trucks are fully stocked with tarps, lumber, hardware, and safety gear so we can start protecting your roof the moment we arrive.
What should I do until your crew gets here?
If it is safe, move valuables away from ceiling leaks, place buckets under drips, and shut off electricity to affected areas. Do not climb on the roof—wet shingles and loose debris make conditions extremely dangerous. Take photos of visible damage from the ground for insurance documentation, then wait for our certified technicians to handle the roof work.
Will insurance cover the cost of emergency tarping and storm damage restoration?
Most homeowner policies treat emergency tarping as a reasonable mitigation expense, meaning they often reimburse the cost when it prevents further damage. We work directly with all major insurers, provide detailed photo reports, and help you file the required paperwork so you receive the maximum eligible reimbursement for both the temporary tarp and the permanent repairs.
How long can a tarp stay on my roof before permanent repairs are needed?
High-quality, professionally secured tarps can protect your roof for 60–90 days under normal conditions, but they are not a long-term solution. UV exposure, wind uplift, and ponding water will eventually weaken even heavy-duty tarps. We recommend scheduling permanent repairs or a full roof replacement as soon as your insurance adjuster approves the claim or within 30 days if possible.
What sets your Clinton storm restoration team apart from other contractors?
Our technicians are Haag-certified for residential and commercial roof inspections, trained in OSHA-compliant safety practices, and licensed in the state of Mississippi. We use reinforced 8-mil to 10-mil tarps, the same grade used by FEMA, and secure them with wood battens rather than sandbags for superior wind resistance. Local ownership means we know Clinton’s building codes, weather patterns, and permit requirements, so you get fast, code-compliant service backed by a workmanship warranty.
