Drywall Ceiling Leak Diverter Tarp by New Pig 16x16x3 Heavy-Duty Vinyl

Description

Product Overview

The New Pig Drywall Ceiling Leak Diverter Tarp is engineered to protect commercial and residential spaces from the costly effects of water intrusion through ceiling drywall. Measuring 16 x 16 x 3 inches and weighing only 1.5 pounds, this compact yet robust solution fits discreetly into standard ceiling grids while providing a large capture surface. The tarp is constructed from a heavy‑duty vinyl‑coated fabric that resists punctures, tears, and UV degradation, ensuring reliable performance across multiple deployments. Its reinforced edges and sealed seams prevent water from escaping, directing the flow into a collection container or hose (sold separately). The product carries the model number PMB30590 and meets New Pig’s rigorous quality standards, reflected in a 4.5‑star rating from verified users.

Designed for occupational health and safety professionals, facility managers, and maintenance crews, this diverter offers a reusable, cost‑effective alternative to disposable spill control pads. The vinyl coating provides a non‑slip surface that remains stable even when saturated, reducing the risk of accidental slips during emergency response. Its lightweight design allows a single worker to install and remove the unit without additional equipment, while the low profile maintains a clean aesthetic on the ceiling. The product is compatible with standard drywall supports that can hold up to five pounds of debris, making it suitable for a wide range of leak scenarios.

Usage

Ideal for environments where ceiling leaks are a recurring concern, the Drywall Leak Diverter Tarp excels during rainy or hurricane seasons, as well as in areas with high humidity or plumbing maintenance activities. Install the tarp directly above the affected drywall section, securing it with the provided fasteners or adhesive strips. Once positioned, the diverter captures any water droplets, channeling them into a collection container or hose that can be connected to a drainage system or pump. This immediate containment prevents water from soaking the drywall, reducing the likelihood of mold growth, structural weakening, and costly repairs.

Because the tarp is reusable, it can be deployed repeatedly throughout the year. After a leak event, simply lift the unit, empty the collected water, and store it for future use. The heavy‑duty vinyl material can withstand multiple cleaning cycles, allowing maintenance teams to keep the diverter ready for the next incident. Its UV‑stable composition ensures that prolonged exposure to sunlight does not compromise performance, making it suitable for outdoor storage or semi‑exposed indoor locations.

Target users include property managers overseeing multi‑unit buildings, industrial facility supervisors responsible for equipment rooms, and safety officers in educational or healthcare institutions. The product’s straightforward installation process reduces downtime, enabling rapid response to unexpected leaks and maintaining operational continuity.

FAQ

How do I install the diverter without damaging the existing drywall?

Begin by cleaning the area around the leak to remove dust and debris. Apply the supplied adhesive strips or fasteners directly to the tarp’s reinforced edges, then press the unit firmly against the ceiling. The lightweight design allows the tarp to sit securely without the need for drilling or heavy hardware, preserving the integrity of the drywall.

Can the diverter be used with a standard collection container?

Yes. The diverter includes a built‑in funnel that aligns with most 5‑gallon or larger containers. For continuous drainage, you can attach a hose (sold separately) to the outlet port, directing water to a floor drain or pump system. Ensure the container or hose is positioned below the tarp to allow gravity‑assisted flow.

What maintenance is required after each use?

After a leak event, lift the tarp and empty any collected water. Rinse the surface with clean water to remove residue, then allow it to air‑dry completely before storage. Inspect the seams and edges for any signs of wear; if damage is detected, contact New Pig for replacement parts or a new unit under warranty.

Is the product suitable for outdoor applications?

While primarily designed for indoor ceiling use, the UV‑stable vinyl coating enables limited outdoor exposure. If used outdoors, protect the tarp from direct sunlight for extended periods and store it in a dry location when not in use to maintain optimal performance.

What is the weight capacity of the diverter?

The tarp itself weighs 1.5 pounds, and the reinforced frame can support up to five pounds of water or debris without deformation. This capacity aligns with typical ceiling leak volumes and ensures the unit remains stable during operation.
