Hurricane Season Preparation: How to Protect Your Roof with UTARPit

As hurricane season looms with the threat of prolonged rains and multiple storms, safeguarding your roof becomes paramount to prevent extensive damage to your home. Traditional roof tarps that require nailing can create pathways for water penetration when the next storm strikes. UTARPit™, our large roof tarp, provides a waterproof and secure cover without the need for nails, ensuring your home remains shielded from roof leaks and storm damage.

Assess Your Roof's Condition

Before hurricane season hits, it’s crucial to assess your roof’s condition for any weaknesses or vulnerabilities that could be exacerbated during a storm. Look for loose shingles, damaged areas, or potential leak points that may require immediate attention. By addressing these issues beforehand, you can minimize the risk of extensive storm damage.

Following proper installation guidelines is crucial when protecting your roof. Clear the roof surface of debris, ensure it is dry, and meticulously apply the tarp according to the provided instructions. Starting at the designated area, slowly peel back the release paper while pressing the tarp onto the surface to achieve complete coverage and secure adhesion.
