Emergency roof tarping is a rapid, temporary repair to keep water out when your roof membrane is damaged (torn shingles, punctures, blown‑off sections). A heavy‑duty tarp is draped over the affected area and secured to shed rain until you can schedule a permanent fix.
Select the Right Tarp: Commercial‑grade polyethylene (6 × 8 mil or thicker), sized to overlap the damaged zone by at least 2 ft on all sides.
Prep the Surface: From the ground, clear loose debris. If safe, remove nails or broken shingle pieces.
Position the Tarp: Lay it so the top edge slides under intact shingles, and the bottom edge lays over them—this channel directs water off the tarp. Center it over the damage with equal overhang.
Secure the Tarp:
– Batten Boards: Place 1×2 or 1×3 lumber over the edges of the tarp, then screw through the board and tarp into the roof deck (every 18–24 in).
– Sandbags/Weights: For flatter sections, use sandbags or water‑filled buckets along the edges.
– Washers & Roofing Nails: For small patches, galvanized nails with large plastic washers hold the tarp without tearing.
Monitor & Adjust: Check after storms or high winds, tighten sagging edges, replace torn sections.
Yes—for short‑term leak control. A properly installed tarp can keep out rain for days or weeks, but it will not withstand months of weather or UV exposure. Plan for a permanent repair (new shingles, patch, or replacement) as soon as possible.
Plastic Sheeting & Roofing Cement: Adhere heavy‑gauge plastic film over small holes with roofing adhesive.
Roof Patch Sealants: Cold‑applied rubberized asphalt or silicone sealants can plug cracks around vents or flashing from the ground.
Foam Sealant: Expandable spray foam can fill voids but must be trimmed and coated once cured to resist UV.
