Emergency roof repairs are sometimes necessary in order to mitigate further damages to your property after wind storm damage occurs. In this case, emergency roof tarping is necessary before the repair can actually take place with the proper roof components and accessories. In this case, the tarp will divert any water away from the damaged area until the damaged area can be fixed according to manufacturer specifications. If a repair on a roof is completed against manufacturer specifications and local building codes, the warranty through both the manufacturer and contractor can be void.
