    Tarp on roof is a temporary fix.

    A tarp can help prevent leaks from getting into the house; however, a tarp on the roof should be a temporary fix to stop an emergency leak.  This is not a permanent fix. 

     

    This is a picture of the roof showing the chimney, the ridge and the two slopes of the roof.
