Here to help following a fire

Following a residential or commercial fire, a home or business owner is already dealing with the stress that comes from a situation like this. 

The key is to minimize any further damage to the structure and begin the restoration process as quick as possible. An Emergency Board Up is an important step in the restoration process. 

Why an Emergency Board Up?

1. Prevent Further Damage from entrance

Leaving the structure as is without boarding up can cause further damage to the building. Allowing foot traffic through can cause soot from the fire to deepen into carpeting making it more difficult to restore. Board ups can also keep outdoor animals from entering the building and causing more damage. 

2. Keeps Out Intruders 

When a structure is left open, it can attract intruders. If valuable belongings, salvageable items or electronics are still within the building, completing a board up will ensure these items are safe from burglary. 

3. Prevent Further Damage from Weather

Depending on the weather, the sun/wind/rain can also cause further damage to a building not boarded up.

Following a Fire, the emergency board up is an important first step in the Fire Restoration Process.
