When disaster hits your property, it can be tempting to temporarily leave your home until all the necessary repairs can be taken care of, but would walking away be the solution to the problem? It could have more consequences than you think.

What is Tarping and Board-Up Service?

Tarping and board-up services will prevent further damage to your property. These are intended to close any openings to your property following a disaster like a fire or flood. Broken windows, broken doors, damaged hinges, and knocked down walls all provide easy entrance to unwanted visitors such as insects, animals, and thieves.

ServiceMaster by Wright offers roof-tarping services that waterproof your roof until it can be fixed. We’ll board up any broken windows, walls, or doors that have been damaged as well. By shielding compromised areas, we help prevent further damage to your home. Other services included are temporary shoring, power restoration, and temporary fencing after vandalism.

Why Bother With Board-ups and Tarp Overs?

Risk of loss of insurance coverage. It is not uncommon for board-up and tarp over services to be required by your insurance carrier following a disaster in order to be eligible for homeowner’s insurance coverage for damages. Why? The faster you board up and tarp over after damage has occurred, the more likely you are to prevent additional damage to your property.

Risk of further damage. Holes in the walls and roof can allow additional damaging elements inside your home; this includes everything from wind and water to animals and thieves. Any of these unfortunate occurrences could add more salt to the wound and, subsequently, your repair bill.

Risk of additional property loss. If vandals or thieves gain access to your home, they could damage or remove anything in your house, access your personal information and destroy or steal your property, such as electronics, appliances, HVAC system, plumbing pipes, fixtures, and more that could be taken for scrap. Nothing is safe in a home left open and unprotected.

Risk of liability. If someone enters your home and gets injured, you could be liable for their injuries. To prevent this, you need professional help.

Why Do You Need a Professional Help for Board-ups and Tarping

Board-ups and tarp overs performed by professionals ensure proper installation and help you avoid:

Solo DIY hassles – board-ups and tarp overs are typically a two-person job! Hiring professionals can also prevent accidents that could happen when you are doing tarp overs on the roof.
Cheap or unsuitable materials. This will not ensure longevity. This will still be prone to re-do which can cost more money.
Damage to the structure of your home resulting from sub-par methods. Professionals have their own methods that have been proven and tested over the years. ServiceMaster by Wright has extensive experience that will do the job flawlessly.
Improper placement that could result in leaks, safety, or security issues. This will be an additional headache on the homeowner’s part.
Unsuitable fastening methods that could fail, or worse, result in added damage to your home and injury to your family during a storm.
