When disaster strikes your home, your first priority is to prevent further damage. At Restorerz, we help in the immediate aftermath of fires, floods, and other serious home damage with emergency board-up services. Learn why these services are essential, what to expect from board-up and tarping services, and why Restorerz – Emergency Services should be your first call if the unthinkable happens to your home.
24/7 Emergency Board Up Services You Can Count On
Our board-up services cover doors, windows, and any other openings after your home has sustained serious damage. Board-up services keep unauthorized intruders out while the home is unoccupied. The last thing you need is to discover that your already-damaged home has been burgled, squatted in, or vandalized. Board-up services are the best way to keep trespassers out.
Boarding up your property can protect your home from further damage from the elements and keep animals and pests out before restoration begins. Our board-up company is available 24/7, so you always have a number to call for immediate support if your home has been damaged by fire or flood.
Emergency Roof Tarp Services
If a heavy storm or a fire has damaged your roof, you’ll need emergency roof tarping services to make sure the next rain doesn’t cause further water damage inside your home. Left unchecked, water infiltration can cause serious structural issues, allow pests to infest the structure, and promote hazardous mold growth throughout the space.
The most common reason you would need emergency roof tarping is if your home has survived a fire, such as wildfires in Southern California. Flames can burn through parts of the roof, and firefighters may also break through sections to vent the fire. While this is essential for controlling the blaze, it leaves the home vulnerable to the elements once the fire is out, which is why time is of the essence to temporarily seal the roof.
When You Need Board Up and Tarping Services
When is it time to call for tarping and board-up services? We strongly recommend calling the Restorerz – Emergency Services team if you’ve experienced the following situations:
- Storm damage: Strong winds, severe hail, and even heavy snow can compromise your home’s structure, ripping off parts of the roof, punching through shingles and underlayment, or breaking windows. Tarping and board-up services protect the structure while packout and contents restoration happen.
- House fires: Doors, windows, and roofs often get damaged or destroyed during a fire, whether by the flames themselves or by the firefighting process. These openings need to be sealed in order to prevent further damage and trespassing.
- Break-ins: If your home was broken into or vandalized, you’ll need to secure the entry point as soon as possible to protect your family and property.
- Accidents: You might also need roof tarping or board-up services after certain accidents, such as a tree falling on your home or a vehicle driving into the building.
- What to Expect During Your Board-Up and Tarping Service
When you work with the Restorerz – Emergency Services team for board-up and tarping, you can expect a rapid, reliable process that treats your safety as the paramount concern. Here’s how it works:
- Step one: We arrive as quickly as possible after your call, inspect your home’s perimeter, document the damage, and identify all vulnerable entry points that need securing.
- Step two: We inspect the roof for any damage and measure areas that need to be tarped.
- Step three: We measure and cut exterior-grade plywood to fit all unsecured door and window openings, then fasten it securely so it can’t be easily removed.
- Step four: We install heavy-duty poly tarps on damaged roof sections, using batten-and-fastener systems that attach directly to the roof deck. This helps prevent strong winds from pulling the tarp off.
- Step five: We clear any immediate hazards around the work area, such as broken glass and large wood shards, and contain all unusable material to a single area.
- Step six: Once the job is done, we provide all damage documentation for insurance purposes, along with our estimate and recommendations for repairs and restoration.
