A recent storm has come through, bringing in tons of rain, hail, and strong winds. You’re worried about your roof which has been needing repairs for a while now. You go outside and check things out the next morning and see that one of your older trees has come down right onto your home's roof.

You look around and see that many other homes in your area have damage as well. Your first thought is to start looking for blue tarps to put up temporarily to protect your home. You don’t have any, so you make your way to the local hardware store in search of some.

Shrink Wrap Roof? What Does That Mean?

If you have ever been to a marina during Winter, you have likely seen boats with white or blue plastic coverings on them. They look like they are all sealed up. That is a shrink-wrapped boat. Rock Emergency does the same with commercial and residential properties. 

The shrink wrap materials are made of a fire-resistant thick plastic, which is surprisingly lightweight. The material is called a film and comes on large rolls. The film is folded in several layers, making maneuvering the large rolls easier. 

The film is then placed over the damaged area, and heat from a heat gun is applied to shrink the film to fit the roof. Being fire resistant, it becomes drum-tight against the roof and surrounding structure preventing pooling from future rain.

Being a plastic material, the roof now has a water-tight seal preventing further roof leaks. Even though a shrink wrap roof is a temporary roofing solution, it will hold you over safely until the roof can be repaired.

Blue Tarp
or Shrink Wrap

Blue tarps have been a tried and true roofing repair method. They are waterproof and affordable. Additionally, they can be reused for other projects. Sadly, the infamous blue tarps have weaknesses that the quality materials used in shrink wrapping don't. 

The material used for the blue tarps is not UV resistant. When they are out in the sun for an extended period, they break down, causing rips and tears, which lead to more damage to the roof. The materials used to shrink wrap are UV resistant and will not break down while being in the elements. 

Another weakness is that in order for the blue tarps to stay in place, more nails and holes in your roof are required. Most tarps are held down with smaller pieces of wood called furring strips. If the tarp was placed by a homeowner, it could be that the tarp is held in place with ropes or cinder blocks.

These methods make it easier for high winds or big storms to blow away the tarp, or at least cause it to move out of place, no longer providing roof weather protection. With the shrink wrap roof service, you can rest assured that the film will stay in place, preserving the damage underneath and preventing further damage to the roof.

At the end of the day, the shrink wrap will last longer than the blue tarp and provide you with better protection from the elements. Roof leaks can happen anytime and aren't always caused by fallen trees or storms. Roof shrink wrapping can also be provided for new roofing projects that aren’t yet completed. Rock Emergency can help with a temporary roofing solution while you await your roofing contractor if you are dealing with any of these situations.

Shrinkwrapping material is made to withstand the elements and outlast any other tarp on the market. It is durable and strong while still maintaining affordability. Best yet, the materials are fully recyclable, so once it is no longer in use, Rock Emergency can remove the film and properly recycle the materials making it an eco-friendly solution.

      If you can, shut off or stop the water source. Also, try to clean up as much water as you can using towels or buckets if necessary.

       

      Roof Types

      One of the biggest problems with a blue tarp is finding the right size that will protect your roof from further damage. It can be even more difficult if you have an oddly shaped roof or several different pitches.
