Texas storms can strike with little warning. High winds, hail, and heavy rain often leave shingles torn away or roof decking exposed. When that happens, water intrusion can quickly damage your attic, insulation, ceilings, and even your electrical system. One of the most effective ways to protect your home immediately after a storm is to cover exposed areas with a tarp.
Tarping provides an instant barrier that keeps additional rainwater from entering your home. Even a small leak can lead to thousands of dollars in repairs from mold, rotted wood, and ruined drywall. By covering the damage right away, you buy time until professional repairs or a full roof replacement can be made.
Insurance companies also expect homeowners to take steps to prevent further damage. Most policies include language requiring “reasonable measures” after a loss. If you fail to tarp or protect your roof, the insurance company may reduce your payout or deny coverage for water damage that occurs after the storm. Tarping is not just protection for your home, it also protects your insurance claim.
Professional tarping is especially important in Texas where winds can be strong and storms unpredictable. A properly installed tarp is secured with boards or fasteners to make sure it stays in place until permanent repairs are completed. A do-it-yourself attempt with thin materials or a few nails may not hold up and could cause more problems.
