Tornado Damage Restoration
Disaster Response Services
Tornado damage restoration services help protect your property with removal actions immediately following a tornado or severe wind event.
In the hours and days following a tornado, our disaster response team deploys emergency crews to provide debris removal, clean up the property, dry-in the roof and remaining structure with tarps or building shrink wrap, and help secure the site so restoration can begin.
After that, we provide a comprehensive damage assessment and assist you with the insurance process using our team of experts that may include: third-party public adjusters, building engineers, industrial hygienists and other experts that may be required for your project.
Tornado winds can cause immediate and severe roof and wall leaks, flooding and structural damage - leaving interior assets and equipment vulnerable.
Immediate action is necessary to minimize property damage.
In a disaster situation - like a derecho or tornado - where roofing materials and siding are torn off, windows blown out, or catastrophic damage occurs...
...you need a team of professionals that can mobilize quickly to start emergency roof repairs and begin the tornado restoration process.
A quick response time can mean the difference between recovery and total loss.

Tornado Damage Roof Repair
Tornado roof repair and restoration often begins with fixing structural damage to your roof.
If your property has just been hit by a tornado, you may have had parts of your roof lifted or entirely ripped off.
When severe roof damage occurs, it may not be enough to simply cover with a tarp or shrink wrap the affected area.
If you've got sections of your roof missing, structural roof repairs will need to be completed first to build back a solid surface.
Then, we can install temporary roofing materials to prevent more roof leaks, while working through the insurance process to get a permanent replacement approved.
Below are a few photos of roofs that needed immediate and aggressive action for emergency roof repairs.
Stopping Roof Leaks From Tornado Damage
Temporary roofing materials will help stop the roof from leaking and prevent further damage.
Following a tornado or hurricane...
...temporary roofing can include emergency roof tarping if you need a relatively short-term solution.
When you're looking for a longer-term temporary solution, the roof can be shrink wrapped with heat welded plastic, giving you a temporary solution that last up to 12 months.
If you have a flat roof, we may install a seam-welded loose lay TPO membrane as a temporary emergency repair. Below is a roofing project where the crew is laying a temporary TPO membrane after the flat roof was torn off by strong winds.
Once the permanent roof replacement is approved by insurance, our crews will return to perform a total TPO roof replacement, including new insulation.
In each wind damage situation, RestoreMasters will build back a solid surface then cover it with loose lay TPO, roof tarps or shrink wrap.

How long does a shrink wrap roof seal last?
A shrink wrap roof seal is a temporary solution to prevent water leaks, while you are waiting for your roofer to install a permanent roof. In areas hit by a major disaster, sometimes roofers are backed up for several weeks or months. Some shrink wrap roofs are guaranteed for a year or longer, up to certain wind speeds. Check with your project manager.
How long does a blue roof tarp last?
Temporary tarping generally can last a few months. Longer term tarp installation is available. Wind and subsequent storm activity will affect its service life. Check with your project manager to learn about the best options for your project.
Does insurance cover emergency roof repairs?
