Professional emergency roof tarping serving Lipscomb and surrounding areas.
When a storm rips shingles off your Lipscomb roof, the immediate threat is not the missing shingles — it is the water pouring into the attic. Emergency roof tarping in Lipscomb from Water Damage Pros US covers the damage fast, stops the water, and buys you time to plan the permanent repair and file your insurance claim.
Lipscomb’s spring storm season is intense. Dixie Alley storms bring hail, tornado-force wind, and torrential rain — often in the same afternoon. When a storm damages a roof, the repair cannot happen instantly. The roofer needs time, the insurance adjuster needs to schedule a visit, and the materials need to be ordered. In that window, the damaged roof is wide open to the weather.
Tarping is the insurance policy that closes that window. A heavy-duty tarp, secured with roof-rated fasteners along the edges and ridges, sheds water away from the damaged area the way a roof is supposed to. It holds through wind and rain for weeks, which is exactly the time it takes to schedule the permanent work.
The alternative is worse. Every rain event that hits an untarped roof pushes more water into the attic, soaking the insulation, the roof deck, and the drywall ceilings below. That water leads to ceiling collapse, mold, and electrical problems. The cost of tarping is a fraction of the cost of the damage it prevents.

A tarp is only as good as its installation. A cheap tarp held down with bricks will tear in the next wind event. We use roof-rated materials and secure every edge — that is what makes the tarp last through the weeks of waiting for the adjuster.
We provide emergency tarping throughout Lipscomb and the surrounding Jefferson County communities, including Bessemer, Fairfield, Hueytown, Brighton, and the neighborhoods along U.S. Highway 11 into Birmingham. After a major storm, our crews are staged to reach homes across the metro quickly.
In Lipscomb itself, we cover every section of the city. Storm damage calls here spike every spring, and the mid-century roofs on the older homes are frequent tarp candidates after high-wind events.
How long after the storm can I call? Call as soon as it is safe. Even a day of rain on a damaged roof causes significant interior damage.
Will the tarp damage my roof? No. We use roof-rated fasteners and methods designed to protect the roof while it is covered.
Do you remove the tarp? We remove it when the permanent roof repair begins and coordinate with the roofer.
What if I cannot afford the deductible right now? We document the mitigation clearly so you can present it to your insurer. Talk to us about payment options.
Do you tarp commercial roofs? Yes. We tarp commercial and industrial roofs in the Bessemer corridor as well.
