What are temporary repairs? 

Temporary repairs are a type of repair made to secure a property until permanent repairs can be made. They are typically used when a property has water, fire, or storm damage. Temporary repairs are essential because they help to minimize the damage until the property can be fully restored. 

The materials used for temporary repairs should be of high quality and should be able to withstand the elements. The repairs should also be made promptly so that the property is not left unsecured for an extended period. 

The two types of temporary repairs SERVPRO of South Cobb offers

SERVPRO of South Cobb offers two types of temporary repairs: 

1. Tarping 
2. Board-up services. 

Tarps are typically used in the case of water and storm damage. They are placed over the affected area to prevent further water from entering and damaging the property. For example, you will commonly find roof tarping covering a hole in the roof until permanent roof repairs can be made. 

Board-up services are typically performed in the case of vandalism and fire damage. Board-up services involve putting up boards or plywood over windows and doors to prevent further damage. 

Four scenarios for temporary repairs 

There are many scenarios in which temporary repairs may be necessary. Here are four common scenarios: 

1. A severe storm damages the roof 
2. A fire breaks out, and damage is done to the windows and doors 
3. Vandalism occurs, and the property is left with broken windows 
4. A car crashes into the side of the building, causing damage to the wall. 

No matter the scenario, temporary repairs will help secure your property until permanent repairs can be made.
