Emergency Roof Tarping and Leak Mitigation
Active leak or storm damage that cannot wait?
Call us directly. We serve North Central West Virginia and respond to roof emergencies as a priority.
Emergency Tarping Is Protection,
Not a Repair
Emergency Services We Provide
Emergency Services
Emergency roof tarping
Rapid deployment of professionally anchored tarps over compromised roof sections. Secured against wind, correctly overlapped, and installed without causing additional surface damage.
Emergency Services
Active leak containment
When water is actively entering, we identify the source and take immediate steps to slow or stop intrusion, including targeted sealing, temporary flashing, or partial repair, while a permanent fix is arranged.
Emergency Services
Temporary protection for properties awaiting repair
For homes or commercial properties waiting on insurance approval, materials, or scheduling, we provide temporary protection systems designed to hold through WV weather until restoration begins.
When to Call the Emergency Line
Call us here: (304) 441-0213 directly, if any of these apply:
Water is actively coming in through the ceiling or walls
Uncontrolled intrusion causes structural damage, mold risk, and potential electrical hazards within hours. Do not wait for a scheduled appointment.
A storm caused visible structural damage to your roof
Missing roofing sections, exposed decking, or a tree or branch on your roof all require immediate attention regardless of current weather conditions.
There is a large open area exposed to the elements
Even without active rain, an exposed section leaves your home vulnerable to the next weather system. Prompt tarping helps limit how far the damage spreads.
Note: If you recently experienced a storm and simply want to know whether damage exists, but nothing is actively failing, that is considered a standard inspection call. Use the form or phone line and we will schedule your inspection as quickly as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is emergency tarping covered by insurance?
In most cases, yes. Emergency protective measures are typically covered under the same storm damage claim as the underlying roof damage. We document the service during the visit so it can be submitted correctly with your claim.
Should I get on my roof to check the damage?
No. Roofs after storm damage can have compromised structural integrity that is not visible from outside. Stay off the roof and call us. We have the equipment and training to inspect safely.
What should I do inside while waiting?
Contain the water, use buckets, towels, and move valuables away from the affected area. If water is near electrical outlets or your panel, turn off the relevant breakers. Take photos inside if you can safely do so. Interior documentation supports your insurance claim.
How long will a tarp hold?
A correctly anchored tarp on a residential roof holds through normal WV weather for weeks to months. The key word is anchored. A tarp that is loosely draped will move or blow off in the next wind event. We secure ours properly, which is what makes the difference.
