Nailing tarps on roofs cited for adding damage Palm Beach Post, FL
Only about 11,000 roofing permits have been pulled in Escambia, leaving 20,000 homes with aging, cracking plastic coverings.
Worse, some FEMA-supplied coverings have done more damage than the hurricane.
That's because workers under contract to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers secured the coverings with strips of wood nailed over the sheeting — and into the roof. That left roofs with new holes. Once the roof sheeting come off, the water comes in. "It's the law of unintended consequences," Switzer says.
Roofers interviewed for this story consistently report the nailed FEMA sheeting caused new holes, and thus a need to repair entire roofs, rather than just those parts Ivan damaged.------------------------------------------- posted 2:02 PM :: reference link ::
