After a major storm or a tree falling on a building, water can seep in quickly and make the damage worse. But which protection should you choose?
The protective tarp
It is best suited to roofs and large damaged surfaces. It keeps rain and snow out of the building until repairs are made.
The panel (board-up)
It is suited to broken windows, damaged doors and storefronts. It closes the opening and deters intrusions.
The two can complement each other
A single loss may call for a tarp on the roof and panels on the openings. An on-site assessment makes it possible to choose the right measures.
Safety first
Do not climb onto a damaged roof and do not go near downed power lines. Contact the authorities if a situation is dangerous, then call professionals to secure the building.
