It is strongly suggested that you not attempt tarping your roof yourself, unless you have particular expertise in roofing safety procedures. The tarps used for temporary cover are very slippery and potential for injury is great and even worse for the novice. Wind is a danger as tarps can easily become sails and the user can be thrown about or off balance when installing tarps. A short fall from a ladder can cause serious harm or even death. It is common for the roofing novice to be injured or even paralyzed from the use of inadequate scaffolding or ladders, improper use of ladders and the unprofessional approach of the \u201cweekend warrior.\u201d There is no good reason for a homeowner to attempt a tarping of his or her roof. Usually, homeowner\u2019s insurance will cover the temporary tarping of your roof in times of storm damage. A professional can make a quick and simple cover and without the hassle and potential for personal injury associated with unskilled workers. The tarping will be secure, shed water and stand up to wind damage. A professional can also facilitate the tarping with little damage to existing areas that may be salvageable. Once a tarp is installed, a reasonable service life is expected. Improperly installed tarps can cause a host of problems. If secured improperly, a tarp can blow off the roof and take with it perfectly good gutters and downspouts. A tarp leaving the rooftop can blow into others\u2019 property and cause damage both to property and persons in the line of the track of the departing tarp and associated ballast attached to it. It is important to ballast and fasten a tarp so that not only the wind takes it, but in a way that sheds water. An improperly fastened tarp can cause more water damage than if it was never installed. Vertical battens are imperative. The use of horizontal battens on the roof plane can cause major leaks. Essentially, the tarp is a temporary roof and should be installed by a professional roofer and not the novice. The roofing professional can install your temporary cover, diagnose the needed repair work and document everything with pictures and notes for your insurance company. Once you embark on the work yourself, there will always remain the question as to the accuracy and validity of your claim.
