Emergency Board Up & Property Securing
After a fire, storm, or major property damage, one of the most important next steps is securing the structure.
Broken windows, damaged doors, exposed roofs, and compromised entry points leave a property vulnerable to weather, theft, and further damage. Emergency board up and property securing is designed to stabilize the site quickly and protect what remains while next steps are planned.
Our emergency board up service focuses on safety, containment, and prevention, giving property owners time to move forward without additional losses piling up.
When Emergency Board Up Is Needed
Board up and securing services are commonly required after:
Fire damage (see Fire Damage Restoration)
Storm or wind damage
Vehicle impact or structural break-ins
Broken windows or forced entry
Roof openings or exposed interior areas
Vacant or partially damaged properties
Any time a building can’t be safely closed, emergency securing helps prevent a bad situation from getting worse.
Why Property Securing Matters After Damage
Unsecured properties face immediate risks.
Without board up or securing, properties are exposed to:
Additional weather damage
Unauthorized entry or theft
Safety hazards for occupants or neighbors
Delays in insurance or restoration work
Liability concerns
Securing the structure early helps preserve the property and supports smoother restoration later.
Our Emergency Board Up & Securing Process
Every situation is different, but our approach stays focused and efficient.
1) Damage Assessment
We identify compromised entry points, structural openings, and safety concerns.
2) Board Up & Temporary Securing
Windows, doors, and exposed areas are securely boarded or covered to block access and protect the interior.
3) Structural Stabilization (If Needed)
In some cases, temporary supports or coverings are used to reduce further deterioration.
4) Coordination With Restoration Services
Once the property is secured, we coordinate next steps — whether that’s Fire Damage Restoration, Smoke Damage Cleanup & Odor Removal, or Water Mitigation if water exposure is present.
Board Up vs. Full Restoration
Board up is a protective step, not a repair.
It’s meant to:
Prevent additional damage
Keep the property safe
Allow time for insurance, planning, or restoration decisions
Once the property is stabilized, restoration services can begin without added complications.
When Board Up Is Paired With Water or Fire Damage
In many emergencies, securing the property is only part of the response.
If water was used to extinguish a fire, or if rain entered through damaged openings, services like:
may be needed alongside board up to prevent secondary damage.
Why Quick Securing Makes a Difference
The first 24–48 hours after damage are critical.
The sooner a property is secured:
The less exposure it has to weather
The lower the risk of theft or vandalism
The smoother the restoration process becomes
Early action helps protect both the structure and its contents.
Secure the Property Before More Damage Occurs
