West Jordan Roof Pros provides professional emergency roof tarping in West Jordan, UT for residential and commercial properties across the Salt Lake Valley. A cover stops the next inch of water. It does nothing about the water already in the deck, and on the valley floor that second half is the whole job, because nothing up there is going to dry on its own between November and March.
So we do both on the same visit. The cover goes on battened: rolled around a two-by-four at the head, carried across the ridge if the pitch permits, and screwed through battens on all four sides so there is no free edge. Stapled sheeting becomes a sail and takes the covering it was stapled to with it. Battens go into framing where we can find it, and the holes get sealed afterward.
Then we open up the inside. Wet insulation directly under the breach comes out, because saturated fiber holds water against the underside of the sheathing for weeks, and that is the deck our new fasteners have to grip. A pinhole punched in a bulging ceiling drains it at a spot you choose, rather than letting the panel come down on the floor. Drywall is cut back to sound material rather than left with a wet edge.
And we get air moving. A fan and a dehumidifier in an attic bay for a few days does more for the eventual repair bill than anything we could do on the roof that afternoon, and it is the step almost nobody offers. Wet fiberglass also stops insulating entirely, so the room below is cold as well as stained. Air moving across the underside of the sheathing is what dries a deck.
Before the cover goes down we photograph what is under it, from above and from the attic, with the plane and the location noted. Once a tarp is on, nobody can see what the weather actually did, and the record is whatever we shot first. Ten minutes of work, and we do not treat it as optional. We photograph the attic side and the ceiling below as well.
A cover is temporary and it is worse than useless left across a season. Ultraviolet exposure and wind flogging abrade the covering beneath it, and a frozen tarp is a sheet of ice on a slope. We come back and re-tension if the permanent repair is weeks out. We charge for the call and credit it against the work. If weather turns before we return, we add a second batten line rather than gamble.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — vapor-permeable synthetic underlayment, self-adhered eave and valley membrane, ring-shank sheathing nails at six inches on center, copper-bearing algae-resistant granules, polymer-modified asphalt shingle mat, 24-gauge standing-seam steel over a drainage mat — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve West Jordan and nearby communities including Taylorsville, Murray, Midvale, South Salt Lake.

Materials, equipment and how we do emergency roof tarping
The difference between emergency roof tarping that lasts and emergency roof tarping that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with vapor-permeable synthetic underlayment, self-adhered eave and valley membrane, ring-shank sheathing nails at six inches on center, copper-bearing algae-resistant granules, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every West Jordan job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the Salt Lake Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
