Disasters around the home generally occur with little or no warning, leaving most homeowners overwhelmed and unsure of what to do. Disasters such as fires, floods, extreme weather, water damage, vandalism, and even car crashes can cause significant damage to homes and buildings, which may take a long time to repair.
Nevada Water & Fire Restoration provides roof tarping and emergency board-up services in Reno, NV to fully secure homes and buildings after a disaster. Our team is available 24/7 and will respond immediately to all emergency calls, arriving on-site with all supplies and materials needed to stabilize your property until repairs can be made.
Effects of a Natural Disaster
For example, a damaged roof with holes can lead to serious water damage when it rains, potentially causing flooding and mold issues. Small gaps can let in pests that chew on the building materials and leave behind messes and odors. There’s also the danger of vandals breaking in, stealing belongings, and causing more damage.
That’s why it’s really important to get emergency board-up and tarping services as soon as possible when your property is in this kind of condition. These services help secure the property, prevent further damage, and keep out unwanted visitors until proper repairs can be made.

Best Practices When Dealing With Roof Damage
Here are some best practices to follow when dealing with roof damage:
- Before inspecting or attempting any repairs, prioritize safety.
- If there’s an active leak, consider temporary solutions like placing a tarp over the damaged area to prevent water from entering your home until repairs can be made.
- Take photos or videos of the damage. This documentation can be valuable for insurance claims and to show contractors the extent of the problem.
- Contact us immediately to imitate the tarping and board up process.
- Avoid putting off repairs, as even minor damage can worsen over time.
- Roof work can be hazardous. Unless you have experience and the necessary safety equipment, it’s best to leave repairs to the professionals.

Recent Reviews
"They are friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great customer service. When I had a pipe break in my crawlspace they came out cleaned it all up."
"Nevada water and fire were extremely professional and extremely kind in the tough time we had with the flood under our house. They worked quickly so we could get our water turned back on and make the underneath of our house safe. Definitely will recommend them to anyone looking for restoration"
"What a life saver this company is. I was out of town and arrived home at 10:00 PM to find a water connection in the master bathroom had been pouring out water like a garden hose for quite some time. I called them at that late hour and within 45 minutes 2 gentlemen showed up and started vacuuming up the water in my home plus putting furniture on waterproof supports to get them up off the soggy carpet and assisted in emptying out my china hutch to put the hutch on dry supports too. The next day Nevada WATER & FIRE had 2 adjusters come out, they arrived at the time specified, to give me the details of what would be happening in my home for the next few days and answered all my questions. For the next several days the restoration crew showed up, was very respectful, removed the damaged carpet, drywall, under the house insulation and duct work. They also assisted in moving the furniture into the dry parts of the house and garage and handled the items with care. The men moved boxes as we packed them, as well. All the extensive amount of damaged material was removed within 3 days. Then heavy duty fans, de-humidifies, wall heating machines were brought in to dry out my home, plus someone came out every day to check the progress of this drying process. When all was dry, a cleaning crew came in to wipe down the walls, ceilings and vacuum up the debris left behind in the removal process. The crew took the time to continue to answer my questions and to let me know what the next steps would be. I highly recommend Nevada WATER & FIRE for their professionalism, courtesy, care of my furniture, and the crew worked diligently in the severe heat. You can be sure, when you call them to assist you, that they will give 100% to your problem and resolve the issue quickly."
"I had a water leak in my crawl space, which needed drying out and a new moisture barrier. They came out the next day with an estimate and the following day to start the drying out process. When they completed it and left, I saw something on the moisture barrier I felt needed additional work. I called and they said they would be out the following week which was fine as it wasn't crucial."
"I have to thank everyone that came out to my home! I called on a Sunday and Garrett was there on Monday. He was professional and informative. He talked me through what needed to be done and worked directly with my insurance company. I would like to personally thank Will, Sean and Alexander for their hard work. They were like having family in my home. They are exceptional young men! Also, thank you to Floyd, he comes everyday to follow up and keeps me updated. I have to say, I was so overwhelmed with the water and mold situation but from the first visit I was taken care of with professionalism, compassion and a job well done."
"Nick and his crew are extremely professional and worked very hard to get our home cleaned up and ready to get put back together. I can’t thank these guys enough for taking the time to explain the process and answer all of my questions. Even if they were small questions, they showed they cared and helped me understand what it would take to safely clean our home. Do not hesitate hiring these guys, they’re honey bee clean experts up now! Jake and Johnathan - thank you guys as well for walking me through the process and making recommendations along the way. The Honey Bee mess is all gone!"
"Was very impressed by how fast the response was and the priority given to us in light of many other simultaneous jobs ongoing. The team on the ground (literally - in our crawl space) was very diligent, courteous, and professional. Garrett and Joey did a great job keeping commitments, even when there were extenuating circumstances and I felt like this was a company staffed by a team that not only cared, but was willing to go the extra mile when necessary. And most importantly, the remediation work was done with high quality and passed an independent industrial hygienist inspection the first time. From the time we called until the inspector's "all clear" cert was issued was only about 10 days for a 1700 sq ft house and knowing that a team was in here all day every day for 5 straight days helped reinforce that they were giving our project a level of extra urgency and attention that was really appreciated. This was grueling work in a very confined, unpleasant space and I couldn't be happier with the end result or the way the team made a very challenging process as palatable as possible in keeping our house clean and relatively undisrupted."
