FAQs
Why is emergency tarping important after a storm in Cowan?
Emergency tarping protects your home from further water intrusion, wind damage, and debris after a severe storm. By covering exposed areas of the roof quickly, we prevent secondary issues such as mold growth, structural deterioration, and interior property damage while a permanent repair plan is arranged.
How fast can your team arrive for an emergency tarping service in Cowan?
Our local Cowan response team is on-call 24/7 and typically arrives within 1–3 hours of your request—often sooner during normal weather conditions. In large-scale storm events, we prioritize based on severity, but we still aim to tarp every home the same day your call is received.
What kind of tarps and fastening methods do you use?
We use industrial-grade, UV-resistant polyethylene tarps rated for high wind loads. Each tarp is securely anchored with wood battens, sandbag ballast, and self-sealing screws that minimize further roof penetration. Where roofing systems allow, we also use temporary adhesive sealants around the tarp edges to create a watertight barrier.
Will an emergency tarp completely stop all roof leaks?
A properly installed tarp significantly reduces water intrusion and is designed to channel water off the damaged section. While it eliminates most leaks, extreme winds or additional storms can sometimes cause minor seepage at the tarp edges. Regular inspections and timely permanent repairs are still necessary.
Do you work with insurance companies for storm damage claims?
Yes. We document the damage with photos, provide detailed estimates, and communicate directly with your insurance adjuster. Proper documentation of the emergency tarping cost and subsequent repair plan helps maximize your coverage and speeds up the claims process.
What does emergency tarping cost and when do I pay?
Pricing depends on roof pitch, accessibility, and the size of the damaged area, but most Cowan tarping jobs range from $400–$1,200. We provide a written quote before starting. You only pay after the tarp is installed, and many homeowners are reimbursed by their insurer once the claim is approved.
