A leaking roof can be a real pain in the butt. Drip diverters can help keep your furniture and other valuables free of water damage by catching the water and siphoning it away to a sink or window. The water is trapped by a ceiling tarp, then carried away by a diverter tube to a safer location. If your roof has suffered more extensive damage due to a hurricane or tornado, a roof tarp can be a temporary solution to prevent further damage to your home’s interior.
