How do you secure my property after a fire?

Quick Answer

Property security after fire involves immediate protective measures: emergency board-up secures broken windows, doors, and roof openings. Roof tarping prevents water intrusion. Fencing may be installed around severely damaged properties. Security systems may be installed or reactivated. All measures are documented for insurance verification.

Emergency Board-Up

Emergency board-up is the first security measure after a fire, securing all openings to prevent:

  • Unauthorized entry and theft
  • Additional weather damage through broken windows and doors
  • Animal intrusion
  • Liability from unauthorized entry to a hazardous structure

Roof Tarping

Roof tarping prevents water intrusion through damaged roofing, protecting the interior from additional water damage during the restoration process. Tarps are secured to prevent wind damage and are replaced as needed throughout the restoration timeline.

Additional Security Measures

  • Temporary fencing around severely damaged properties
  • Security lighting installation
  • Security system reactivation or temporary installation
  • Regular property monitoring during restoration

Documentation for Insurance

All security measures are documented with photos and written records for insurance verification. Emergency board-up and tarping costs are typically covered by homeowners insurance as emergency mitigation work. We provide all required documentation to support your claim.
